How to call the DateTimePicker from a textbox in UserForm - vba

Question

I have created a TextBox1 within my UserForm.
I have create a Sub called
Sub TextBox1_Enter()
End Sub
where by clicking the textbox I want to open the DateTimePicker control to choose a date, and after the date is chosen the chosen date should be the TextBox1.Value
I have the DateTimePicker from mscomct2.ocx
I really don't figure out how to call the control; any tips with code and a good explanation anyone?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but you could take a look as this. It is very well explained.

Answer 2

My goal was to have an empty DatePicker at form startup, and was told to use a textbox to load the DTPicker upon clicking.
But I found this solution that keep the DTPicker Value empty as form startup
Private Sub DTPicker1_CloseUp()
FormatDTPicker
End Sub
Private Sub DTPicker1_Format(ByVal CallbackField As String, FormattedString As String)
If CallbackField = "X" Then FormattedString = ""
End Sub
Private Sub DTPicker1_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal_
x As stdole.OLE_XPOS_PIXELS, ByValy As stdole.OLE_YPOS_PIXELS)
With DTPicker1
If .Value = vbNull Then
.Value = Now
End If
End With
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
DTPicker1.Value = vbNull
FormatDTPicker
End Sub
Private Sub FormatDTPicker()
With DTPicker1
If .Value = vbNull Then
.Format = dtpCustom
.CustomFormat = "X"
Else
.Format = dtpShortDate
End If
End With
End Sub
