Additional I would beg to support typed input in the following way: entering "18,10" should result to the 18th of October of the current year when leaving the control. You completely can enter this value on the numeric keyblock without moving the hand to the "." key in between day and month. Entering just "18" should be completed with the currend month and year. Another additional option: invalid input ("20,20" etc) should not capture the user in the control but rather display a previous assigned error provider. In this case a null value or empty string should be returned. Nullable value and preset null displaying value are both important, as well as the checkmark option of the windows forms control.

On my point of view Datepicker is going to use maximum in business application and for business application, fast and comfortable data entry is the most important. For keyboard based date entry even today i love to have DOS Based Foxpro or Cliper kind of control. if there is any way we have any option to show Date Picker with MaskEdit style, so to make fast keyboard entry and at the same time if one want to navigate with mouse he can do it like normal date picker control which windows has since VB 5.0.

More along the lines of the standard XP one but the Krypton coloring etc. Although you would be able to place mine into a KryptonContextMenu so that you could have additional menu items around it.

I'm using it currently and it fits very well although the skinning is obviously not perfect. The Vista zomming is impressing. Yes, the DevExpress Picker is also free of charge.

Like Horus said, the Vista-style picker is definitely better than the XP-one. I know the DateTimePicker from DevExpress - they've created a completely new one in vista-style which also works on xp. I don't really know how difficult this is gonna be, but it would be VERY sexy :D Hey Phil,

Windows XP doesn't have this feature... So if you decide to rebuild the control instead of restyling it you could enable this functionality on both Vista and XP. Phil,
