Re: DateTimePicker control
If you set the Format property to "Custom" then set the CustomFormat property to a suitable value such as "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm.ss" this will kind of do it.
Certainly does it easier then the current way you are doing it. It's not "cool", but it does it all in one box which isn't uncool :)
Re: DateTimePicker control
Hey Zeb ... thanks !
That did it. I didn't know about the 'Format' property so although I was setting the formatting string property correctly, I guess it was useless since I wasn't setting the format property to 'custom'. I added that single statement and Voila ! And it's certainly a heck of a lot better than using the extra text box which has since been removed.
Say, I couldn't help but notice that you're located in or near Melbourne. Man, I love that place. I spent many joyful months there more years ago than I care to admit to. Eight great months as I recall. I was staying in downtown Melbourne in what was then Noah's Hotel (across the street from the 'Southern Cross'), and each day I'd drive out to Williamstown Naval dockyard to work on the Seabeam sonar system.
RAN was still building HMAS Cook as a platform for the Seabeam so I didn't get to install it, but I did get to run dockside tests, then teach a Seabeam class there. That work in Melbourne was probably the funnest project I ever had.
OK - thanks for your help, Zeb.
Best wishes.

Re: DateTimePicker control
I used to work for the mob that built the ships at Williamstown (although in a different, more "boring" division). Good to hear you enjoyed Melbourne - it's a great place - if you want it to be.
Glad I could help :)
