This code allows us to place and bind a date and time picker in the third column of a datagrid. Problem is , the date and time picker will not display bound data until the grid cell is activated. We need to know what property of the datetimepicker is not allowing the data to display in the datagrid cell. Thanks in advance.

================================================

* this class definition allows the addobject method to morph the COM object.
Define Class dtPicker As OleControl
Left = 50 && Command button column
Top = 100 && Command button row
Height = 22 && Command button height
Visible = .F.
format = 3
CustomFormat = "mm-dd-yyyy"

Procedure CloseUp()
mdtObj = Thisform.grdDetail.Column3.dtpPicker.object
Replace dtlRecon1.MnthYr With mdtObj.Value
EndProc
ENDDEFINE

* This code snippet defines the objects and bindings for the grid cells.
With Thisform.grdDetail
.RecordSource = "dtlRecon1"
.RowHeight = 22
For Each oCol In .Columns
intCol = Val(Right(oCol.Name,1))

IIF(intCol = 4, "Active","Description"))))
oCol.Width = Iif(Inlist(intCol, 1, 4),75, Iif(InList(intCol,2, 3), 100, 256))
