Using CDateTimeCtrl

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at Using CDateTimeCtrl.

The date and time picker control (CDateTimeCtrl) implements an intuitive and recognizable method of entering or selecting a specific date. The main interface of the control is similar in functionality to a combo box. However, if the user expands the control, a month calendar control appears (by default), allowing the user to specify a particular date. When a date is chosen, the month calendar control automatically disappears.

Note
To use both the CDateTimePicker and CMonthCalCtrl classes in your project, you must include AFXDTCTL.H, usually in your project's STDAFX.H file.
