How to Change Width of WinForm DateTimePicker when in Standard Format?
Date time Format
It is possible to adjust the width of the WinForms DateTimePicker when it is in standard format. The width of the DateTimePickerAdv is calculated by adding the following constraints.
- Width of the DateTimePickerUpDownButton
- Width of the DateTimePickerDropButton
- Font size of the DateTimePickerAdv
- The length of the DataTimePickerAdv's Value in the specified standard format.
C#
//New font size is set here.
this.dateTimePickerAdv1.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 13);
this.dateTimePickerAdv1.ShowCheckBox = false;
this.dateTimePickerAdv1.ShowUpDown = true;
this.dateTimePickerAdv1.AutoSize = false;
this.dateTimePickerAdv1.AutoSizeMode = AutoSizeMode.GrowOnly;
this.dateTimePickerAdv1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Long;
int updownWidth = 0, dropWidth = 0;
//Calculating the UpDown and DropDown button width
foreach (Control ctrl in this.dateTimePickerAdv1.Controls)
{
if (ctrl.GetType().ToString() == "Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DateTimePickerUpDownButton")
updownWidth = ctrl.Size.Width;
else if (ctrl.GetType().ToString() == "Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DateTimePickerDropButton")
dropWidth = ctrl.Size.Width;
}
//Sum up the width of drop down button, updown button and font.
int nWidth = dropWidth + updownWidth + Convert.ToInt32(this.dateTimePickerAdv1.Font.Size * this.dateTimePickerAdv1.Value.ToLongDateString().Length);
this.dateTimePickerAdv1.Width = nWidth;
VB
''Font is set
Me.DateTimePickerAdv2.Font = New Font("Tahoma", 13)
Me.DateTimePickerAdv2.ShowCheckBox = False
Me.DateTimePickerAdv2.ShowUpDown = True
Me.DateTimePickerAdv2.AutoSize = False
