So, in VB.NET, I can see the current date ("Tuesday, April 18, 2017") however in run time, I get the following: http://i.imgur.com/QUG0wq6.png
Any idea on what could be going on? Just started to happen.
I cannot replicate the problem.
In the search for your operating system, type "date format" and click on the entry for "Change date and time formats". Verify that the entry for Long date is:
dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy
You might want to switch it to something else and then back again just to be sure the setting is saved.
Back in Visual Studio, add a new DateTimePicker to your form and call it dtpSample and then put this code in the form load event:
With dtpSample
.Value = Now.AddMonths(1) '1 month in the future
.ShowUpDown = False
.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Long
End With
If when you run the project now and the date in dtpSample is fine and still wrong in the other one, then it sounds like you have something in your code is breaking/altering the original control.
I had the same issue with an Application built with VS2015 but it only appeared when deployed to a "Creator's Update" PC. Turned out that the "Enable application Framework" checkbox needed checking within the projects Application page, as per the following:

After I updated to Windows 10 Build 15063, my DateTimePicker control displays incorrectly. It appears to have tabs it the display output. When I pick a date the value is set correctly in the control but will display like this
02/ /02 /2016
When I set a text box to the text value of the DateTimePicker is set correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I have attached a print screen of the output.
When I run the code in Windows 10 Build 14393 it comes out correctly
Example 01
dtpDate.Text returns "02/02/2016"
Example 02
Me.dtpDate.CustomFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy"
Me.dtpDate.Format = System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
Me.dtpDate.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(80, 80)
Me.dtpDate.Name = "dtpDate"
Me.dtpDate.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(88, 20)
Me.dtpDate.TabIndex = 6
This problem is resolved by KB4022725 (June cumulative update)
For visual studio 2010, Go through Project --> properties, under the application tab, activate "Enable XP visual styles"
I ran into the same problem with my MFC application. The CDateTimeCtrl worked fine in dialogs until a Windows Update broke it (making show either "//" or dates with truncated digits).
The bug appears to be in COMCTL32.dll version 5. I was able to work around it by forcing my app to use COMCTL32.dll version 6, by inserting the following into my code:
#pragma comment(linker,"\"/manifestdependency:type='win32' \
name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' \
processorArchitecture='*' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
This altered the appearance of some other things, but it worked.
I read that this problem with version 5 may go away with June cumulative update for Windows 10.
I have a DateTimePicker that is showing the wrong date, but only on a few computers.
This is what is happening. I have in the database '10/27/2015', but the DateTimePicker is showing '10/26/2015' only on some computers, and the others are showing correctly. I couldn't find what is wrong. I checked the date/time settings and everything looks the same. Any suggestions?
Here is how I am setting the DateTimePicker value:
If Not IsDBNull(dttable.Rows(0).Item("data")) Then
dtp.Value = Format(dttable.Rows(0).Item("data"), "dd/MM/yyyy")
End If
Ok, so I'm experiencing some strange behavior in datetimepicker fields in my program. I use Short format usually, and use a pair of them for date range selections.
The problem i'm experiencing is if a user is using the keyboard for input. they can tab and arrow through the field like normal to key in a date. However if the date part they are entering doesn't fill it's section of the mask and then they press enter to activate the formdefault without shifting focus away from that portion of the date, then the value of the DTP when the ok_button.click event is run is whatever value it had in it BEFORE they typed their change.
to give a specific example:
A user tabs into the date field. the default date in the field is today's date, 4/14/2015. They type in 1, arrow to the day, put in 1, then arrow to the year and type 14, then press enter. The reported value of the DTP is going to be 1/1/2015. Had they instead actually typed out 2015, or used the arrow to move to another date part or tab to shift focus to another control, the DTP will auto update to fill in the rest of the year.
The same problem would exist if they had typed in a 1 for the month and then hit enter, but would NOT happen if they put in a 12 for the month.
The only solution I can think of, and I haven't yet tried to implement it because it sounds like a real kludge and would require me to go through at TON of forms in the project, would be to change the keypress event for enter to shift focus to the OK button, and THEN invoke the formdefault.
I will say that most of the datetimepicker fields on my forms are actually contained within a user control, so if this is a property that can be changed in the control or tied to an event in the control, it would make updating much, MUCH easier.
I am currently using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows desktop with an SQL back-end. I am trying to run an SQL query that will have the date time in format "yyyy-mm-dd." My problem is I need to see all entries from that date. Currently my date time picker keeps giving me a time with my selection. I need to remove the time portion. I tried a couple of solutions from the web but when I try and display the date time picker in a message box to see what the value is it says false. I am not sure how to change the output value in the custom field to remove this. Here is my code.
This is in on my load event:
'date time picker set up
DTPPromiseDate.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
DTPPromiseDate.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
Then in a button click event, is a message box to display what was selected in the date time picker. I want to get my message box working correctly before I try and run SQL queries with it.
MsgBox(DTPPromiseDate.Value)
-------------------------UPDATE-----------------
This code appeared as I wanted it to but I am still trying to work it into my query.
DTPPromiseDate.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
Apply the formatting string that you used in the picker's custom format to the message box text as well.
I have an Excel 2007 sheet with VBA user forms to get data from access. Everything works fine. Data also gets populated over VBA form but when i click on any Multi-page tab then it throws the following error (though i can see values were loaded successfully):
Run time error 35788. An Error occurred in a call to the Windows Date & time picker control
How can I fix this?
Note: I have used Me.Multipage.Value = 0 or 1 as per page index before code executes for multipage tab. e.g. before 2nd page code execution i set index as 1.
When i click over user form field name on debugging then it highlight as 12:00:00 AM & access field name shows correct date value.
Finally i got this working with little more head beating. I added Me.Multipage1.Value = 0 in the last of code & it started working. Though i think it should not have anything with error i received above but i got this working. Anyhow. Thanks.
May be this helps someone else running with same trouble.
The date time picker needs to be shown before the added value, so if you have a multi-page user form, you need to show the page containing the date time picker first.
