DateTimePicker.DropDown Event
.NET Framework 4
Occurs when the drop-down calendar is shown.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.
The following code example demonstrates handling the DropDown event of a DateTimePicker and using the MinDateTime and MaxDateTime fields. To run this example paste the following code in a form that contains a DateTimePicker named DateTimePicker1.
// When the calendar drops down, display a MessageBox indicating // that DateTimePicker will not accept dates before MinDateTime or // after MaxDateTime. Use a StringBuilder object to build the string // for efficiency. private void DateTimePicker1_DropDown(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { System.Text.StringBuilder messageBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder(); messageBuilder.Append("Choose a date after: "); messageBuilder.Append (DateTimePicker.MinDateTime.ToShortDateString()); messageBuilder.Append(" and a date before: "); messageBuilder.Append (DateTimePicker.MaxDateTime.ToShortDateString()); MessageBox.Show(messageBuilder.ToString()); }
