If you don't need "day" resolution, what you're doing is likely the best way
to do it since showing a calendar would be kind of confusing. There are
always 12 months in a year and the years always progress by one so you could
even do it with two drop down combos if you like, or what you did with the
spin control works nicely. I wouldn't fool with the complexity of the
control. You can convert to a real date by just figuring out, from the
text, the month then using the 1st in your conversion if you need to use a
CTime or other date object.

Hi, all:

This is probably a stupid question, user need to enter month and year
(no date) on my interface. current I am using a Combobox to show Jan
to Dec, then an editbox and a spin control for enter year. I am
wondering is there a property to set in CDateTimeCtrl so that the
calendar does not show the date in the month, instead, it shows the
header (month and year) only? Or are there any better implementation
for month and year only selection? Quite new in MFC.

Thanks a lot.
