>I have no idea if this will work. It's a shot in the dark, but it might. MS KB article Q178491 describes how to change the background color of a treeview control. The technique described in there might work with the Date/Time Picker. (And yes, the control does have it's own hWnd property, which you'll need for this to work).

Hi George, haven't "talked" to you in a while. Thanks for responding. It can be a little unnerving to get no response at all on what I thought would be a relatively straightforward question. :-)

I'll take a look at the article. I'm surprised the control does not allow changing of the textbox colors. I'm double-minded right now about trying to find a way to change it's colors or just set all controls' colors to Windows default.

Thanks,
Bill
