Date Time Picker uncheck problem

Hi,

I'm using a Data Time Picker control (System.Windows.Forms.DataTimePicker) in my application.

I set it's ShowCheckBox Property to True. And set it Checked Property to False, and Set the default value to 01/01/1978

Then when i run the application, the Data Time Picker control is always Checked! When i back to the Form Design, the Checked Property stands as False. Why??! This simply confusing me.. Did i miss out something?

So, the question is:

How to set the Data Time Picker Control value and make it stays UnChecked?

In vb6 time, i can use DTPicker1.Value = Null but this is Not working in .net.

Any idea? thks

hmmm i dont know if this will work, but in the form_load section, just try this

dtpicker1.checked = false

just a suggestion

try setting the showcheckbox property after the setting the default value

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        DateTimePicker1.Value = Now
        DateTimePicker1.ShowCheckBox = True
    End Sub
this is a bug in win xp !!
I've had the same problem .. after slamming my head w/ wall a few times, i came across an article from MS website, which basically said this is a bug in win xp common controls. this was 3-4 months ago. i think they've fixed it by now. i can't find the article !

It is inconsistent :)
so i write like this
dtp.checked=true
dtp.checked=false

funy but it's working :)
What a bug from M$! only their programmers know why come like that..

anyway, thks guys for the comments, i resolved my problem ;-) cheers
actually .. i had dome same (i.e. checked=true/false) .. but it'll still be inconsistent .. i can email you a screenshot as a proof that I had taken and email m$.
