>>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).

If you do try it, let me know if it works (just curious).

Regarding the colors, it does let you pick the colors of the calendar, but not the text box. Perhaps they thought that was enough.< g >
