In answer to my post about auto droping the calendar in the date time picker Paul M sent this code....

#DEFINE WM_KEYDOWN 0x0100
#DEFINE VK_F4 0x73

hWnd = THISFORM.OleControl1.hWnd
=SendMessage(hWnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_F4, 0)

.... in main prg

DECLARE INTEGER SendMessage IN WIN32API ;
INTEGER hWnd, ;
INTEGER Msg, ;
INTEGER wParameter, ;
INTEGER lParameter

IT WORKS GREAT! The calendar pops up automaticaly just as I want.

Except for one problem. Code that I had in the closeup event of the control now does not work at all.

Do I need to reset or "unset" something? Thanks for any thoughts.
