Yeah, the way he had it works but involves two controls, which looks like
the OP didn't like either. Seems like all he wanted was the Date Time
control, without the day. A masked edit with background validation should do
the trick.

Hi Ali,

I'm not sure what you get for this though if you don't want to show the
days of the month. I think OP was just looking for month/year. I guess
wrapping your own control would help with localization issues, but you
could easily do that the way OP implemented it originally.

The Date-Time control is nothing but a masked edit that validates its
data with a CTime or COleDateTime object. You can easily write your own
where it would only take the month and year value.

Look on code project for example Masked edit controls.

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.
