DateTimePickerAdv question

[Kamen Yotov]

In DateTimePickerAdv, one can use the arrow keys to go through the fields (Left+Right) and change them (Up+Down).

When I am on the date field, I want to move to the month (next field) if a letter is pressed, as this is most likely what the user means (he/she wants to type in the month, after typing in the date).

I am using CustomFormat, "dd MMM yyyy".

Is there a way to programatically check which field is one on and to move to a specific other field?

Hi Kamen,

This could be achieved by customizing the DateTimePickerAdv control and overriding the ProcessCmdKey method

[Code]
public class CustomDTPA : DateTimePickerAdv
{

public CustomDTPA(): base()
{
this.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
this.CustomFormat = "dd mm yyyy";
}

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
if (keyData == Keys.A)
{
keyData = Keys.Right;
}
return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
}
}

Please refer to the code snippet above and let me know if it helps you.
