I\'ve decided to reimplement the datetime picker, as a standard datetime picker isn\'t nullable. The user wants to start with a blank field and type (not select) the date.>
I'm not 100% sure, but a quick look at the DateTimePicker class on Reflector takes me to the SafeNativeMethods.SetWindowPos
internal class.
You can override the SetBoundsCore
from the base Control class or, like Tigraine stated, create a custom control based on the DateTimePicker.
Hope it helps, Bruno Figueiredo
