Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas people have presented in the blog and also in the forums about ways to go about getting the DateTimePicker to work under visual styles of Vista. None of them actually solves the problem 100% and so I have decided to just write the control from scratch instead.

Even if all the hacks could be make to give the correct presentation if would still be unpleasant having to hope that they continue to work for all future versions of Windows. It is much more work to start from scratch but I hope it will pay off in the long run and allow a greater level of flexibility. Adding additional functionality will be easier when you have the full source code and can do anything you want.
