Question

I would like to get a datepicker in WindowsForms as compact as the one provided in the Windows Task Scheduler :

Is it a hidden option of the Calendar, or is it a custom development ?

Answer 1

I do it with two date/time pickers -one for date, one for time. (Mine may look different based on my Desktop Theme – Windows Classic)

• The date one has the Format property set to “Short”.
• The time one has the Format property set to custom, and the CustomFormat set to hh:mm ttso it would read “12:00 PM”. You can change the format as you like.

Then in code, I combine the two to come up with a full DateTime.

 DateTime dt = DateTime.MinValue;
 try
 {
    dt = dateTimePicker1.Value.Date.Add(dateTimePicker2.Value.TimeOfDay);

 }
