The following code example demonstrates initializing a DateTimePicker object by setting the Format to a DateTimePickerFormat value. To run this example paste the following code in a form and call InitializeDateTimePicker from the form's constructor or Load event-handling method.
internal: // Declare the DateTimePicker. System::Windows::Forms::DateTimePicker^ DateTimePicker1; private: void InitializeDateTimePicker() { // Construct the DateTimePicker. this->DateTimePicker1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::DateTimePicker; //Set size and location. this->DateTimePicker1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 40, 88 ); this->DateTimePicker1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 160, 21 ); // Set the alignment of the drop-down MonthCalendar to right. this->DateTimePicker1->DropDownAlign = LeftRightAlignment::Right; // Set the Value property to 50 years before today. DateTimePicker1->Value = System::DateTime::Now.AddYears( -50 ); //Set a custom format containing the string "of the year" DateTimePicker1->Format = DateTimePickerFormat::Custom; DateTimePicker1->CustomFormat = "MMM dd, 'of the year' yyyy "; // Add the DateTimePicker to the form. this->Controls->Add( this->DateTimePicker1 ); }
