Hello,

Is it possible to open a DateTimePicker control when it gets the focus?

Thanks and greetings,

Michel
 
Add the following line to the DateTimePicker control's GotFocus (not Enter)
event.

My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("%{DOWN}", True)

This sends an Alt+Down key sequence to the active window, which should be
the DateTimePicker. Due to the nature of inserting keys in the middle of
the input stream, it might not work 100% of the time.

Click to expand...

Is there a window's message that is sent to a control telling it to
expand? If so perhaps the OP could use the SendMessage API for a more
reliable way of expanding the dropdown.

Thanks,
