DateTimePicker with no date selected?

I need to have several date fields, but some of these dates may not be
known or may never be used, such as dates for pre-trial hearings or
pre-pleading report submitted. Is there some nice DateTimePicker
control that understands that a date can be null (or just blank)?

I guess I can kludge up something such as a checkbox to indicate that
a date needs to be entered and then show the datetimepicker but that
really is ugly.
 
Clever. How much is applicable to the compact framework? I'm not sure
about trapping a delete key for instance. Does that depend on the mode
of the input panel? Well, it's a good start and I'll play with it.
Thanks.

Ah no, there isn't even a dropdown event. Well, I can still use a
checkbox and then set the customformat either way. Ok, that works.
 
Hi,

It will be interesting to see if my new replacement for the
DateTimePicker works under the CF. If you want to be part of the beta
and check it, you're very welcome. If it's not, some adjustments may
be possible.
This component is called Smart FieldPackEditor.Net.

I already went with a checkbox to indicate that a date exists and then
enabling the picker. It seems to work nicely.
