DatePicker control in VFP grid doesn't show after picking date and column loses focus.
I am trying to use the Microsoft Date and Time Picker 6.0 ActiveX object in a VFP 9 gridview control. The control works when the cell/column has focus, but I cannot see the value in the cell after the focus moves to the next column. I have tried the SPARSE property of the column, which hasn't made any difference.
What must I do to see the cell contents after the cell loses focus?
I've attached two images of the cell, one with focus, the other without.

The Sparse property does work for native FoxPro controls only. ActiveX controls ignore it.
One possible solution could be to place two controls into the column and make active the ActiveX one when the cell has focus and the standard VFP textbox when you leave the column.
Another solution is to use native VFP calendar control. Source code is available here:

I didn't test above solutions.

Thank you for your help, I did not realize that about ActiveX and Sparse.
I would like to try the two controls solution you suggest as a possible solution - which method/event(s) do you think I could use to set the CurrentControl property of the column? I wanted to try GotFocus on the column, but that doesn't exist...
