Full Version: Question regarding Stephen Leban's Calendar

Hi there

I have downloaded Stephen Leban's Calendar and have got it to work beautifully! Only one small issue, my date field is on the edge of the form (the right hand edge) and the calendar pops up to the right of the field, so it is almost all off the screen. Is there a way to get the calendar to open to the left of the field instead, or is this a major issue. I can always redesign the form.

Hope you can help
Thanks

I have never used Stephen Leban's calendar, so my suggestion may be completely off-base. Is there a way to put the calendar on its own form, then associate it with a particular control? The one I use allows this, so I frequently code the double-click event of a text box to open the calendar. I also pass to the calendar the control in which I want the calendar's value placed.

I have never used it, so you will need whatever docs come with it.

As I posted earlier, I would put the calendar control on its own form. Then some code in a command button or some other way, such as a double-click event to open the calendar form.

You will need the docs to tell you if there is a way to tell the calendar form where to stick its value. If not, then you may be able to use the OpenArgs argument of the open form command. In it, you would pass in the name of the control to place the value in.

You could also then put the value into the control from the calendar form itself.
