DTN_DATETIMECHANGE loop!

[EvIl_DeViL]

hi! I have a date-time picker control.
when I select a date it gives 2 notify and when I change month I get an endless loop of notify!!!
here's my code...

#define   STRICT

#include  <windows.h>
#include  <stdio.h>
#include  <commctrl.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "comctl32.lib")

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT iMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) 
{
   static SYSTEMTIME st;
   static HWND       hWndStartDate, hWndStartTime;
   static char       szDate[15], szTime[10], szStamp[20];
   NMDATETIMECHANGE  *Date;
   CREATESTRUCT      *cs;

   switch (iMsg) 
   {
   case WM_CREATE :
      cs = (LPCREATESTRUCT)lParam;
      GetLocalTime(&st);
      GetDateFormat(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, 0, &st, "yyyyMMdd", szDate, sizeof(szDate));
      GetTimeFormat(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, 0, &st, "HHmmss", szTime, sizeof(szTime));

      hWndStartDate = CreateWindowEx(0, DATETIMEPICK_CLASS, NULL,
         WS_BORDER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
         10, 10, 100, 25,
         hwnd, NULL, cs->hInstance, NULL);

      hWndStartTime = CreateWindowEx(0, DATETIMEPICK_CLASS, NULL,
         WS_BORDER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | DTS_TIMEFORMAT,
         10, 40, 100, 25,
         hwnd, NULL, cs->hInstance, NULL);
      break;

   case WM_NOTIFY :
      switch(((LPNMHDR)lParam)->code)
      {
      case DTN_DATETIMECHANGE :
         Date = (LPNMDATETIMECHANGE)lParam;
         if(Date->nmhdr.hwndFrom == hWndStartDate || Date->nmhdr.hwndFrom == hWndStartTime)
         {
            DateTime_SetRange(hWndStartDate, GDTR_MAX, &st);
            DateTime_SetRange(hWndStartTime, GDTR_MAX, &st);
            MessageBox(NULL , _T("hello"), _T("hello"), MB_OK);
         }
         break;

      case DTN_DROPDOWN :
         MonthCal_SetFirstDayOfWeek(DateTime_GetMonthCal(hWndStartDate), 0);
         break;
      }
      break;

   case WM_COMMAND :
      if (IDCANCEL == LOWORD(wParam))

         DateTime_GetSystemtime(hWndStartTime, &st);
         break;
      }
      break;

   case WM_CLOSE :

      break;

   case WM_DESTROY :

help!!!

It seems like you need to move this:

DateTime_SetRange(hWndStartDate, GDTR_MAX, &st);
DateTime_SetRange(hWndStartTime, GDTR_MAX, &st);

from DTN_DATETIMECHANGE handler into WM_CREATE after controls are created. You don't need to set range every time control is changed. Also remove MessageBox from there. That notification might be called many times over, that coupled with a message box being shown may also deadlock your app. If you need to know when that notification is sent put a debugger breakpoint somewehre inside, or use Beep() for an audible signal.
