Adding Calendar in Form

[Riz]

Hi,

I want to put a feature where users can click on the
calendar to choose date in form. How can I do that?

Thanks

Outlook itself does not include any date picker control (which, by the way, is one reason why the first page of the appointment, journal, and task forms is not editable). See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/datepick.htm for controls you can add.

Well, there is a calendar tool, in the common Tools dll, that lets you
pick a date, which is then transferred to the field of your choice.
However, it does not work in the same way as the calendar tool in the
Outlook calendar item, which is private to Outlook. You need to buy a
third party control to get close to that.

In Design view, open the 'Control Toolbox' and right-click
your mouse in the 'Controls' area. Choose the 'Custom
Controls' option. Scroll down until you see
the 'Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control'. Check
this, 'Ok' and the icon will appear on the 'Control
Toolbox'.
