Calendar Control Question

[RHubbard]

I have a form with calendar control 11.0 placed on it.

When the form opens, the calendar is invisible.

When the cursor enters a field called ClassDate the calendar (calClassCalendar) becomes visible.

When the user clicks a date on the calendar control I want that date to appear in in the ClassDate field.

I would have expected the Calendar Control to have an OnClick Event Property that would have allowed something like
ClassDate.value=calClassCalendar.val

To my complete dismay there is NO OnClick event on the Calendar Control.

How to I get the Calendar Control's date to display in the ClassDate field?

Thanks for the help.

Try this link, it helped me greatly with pop up calenders.

Does it have a lostfocus event? On losing focus you could get it to send its value to the classdate field

Just a suggestion: i used the calendar control 11.0 and it was just misery for me. i had problems with distributing to other computers with different versions of Office (e.g. with/wo sp1 or sp2). in addtion, i just couldn't get the right values not enough events etc.. just a lot of problems i now use a calendar i found on the internet and i am lot happier.
try this one: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-51.html

i made one modification on the form_open i added the function CDate(gtxtCalTarget.Value) but other than that i am happy with it.

good luck,

sam

Thanks for the advice.

I discovered that even though there is no OnClick Event on the Calendar Control Properties, that event can be controlled in the VB editor.

After I selected On Click there, I was able to update the date field on the form with the date selected from the control with no problem.
