Date cell type question...

[Jim Frapper]

Hey,

I have a GDBG bound to a regular ole dataset with a date column. After the data binding takes place, naturally this column is formatted with a series of date controls. It turns out on this particular screen, this column is read only. Since its read only my users have the following request.

They want the drop down arrow not to show up. Which just means they want the text formatted as a date, but they dont want the date cell control.

I attempted to accomplish this by setting the colstyles celltype for this column to static. This was unsuccessful. Any suggestions?!

You can try this.

Leave it as a MonthCalendar cell, but set the style.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.None for the column. You can also set style.ReadOnly = true to prevent then from typing into the cell.
