To run the code sample

  1. Navigate to the solution file (*.sln), and double-click it. By default, the solution file is copied to the following folder:

    C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK\Samples\PocketPC\CPP\win32\CalendarAndDTP

    Microsoft Visual Studio launches and loads the solution.

Comments

ExTAPIAsyncdemonstrates how to develop an application that is based on Extended TAPIasynchronous functionality.

The following code is needed to use the calendar and DTP controls.

Copy Code 
INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX icex;
icex.dwSize = sizeof(icex);

icex.dwICC = ICC_DATE_CLASSES;You can create the second screen with scrollbars, and then pan a full year.

The controls are physically laid out on dialog boxes to make them easier to position and interact with at design time. In the dialog editor, they are the grey boxes on the dialog boxes. To set specific styles for these controls, open the *.RC file as a text file, find the control you want, and add or delete the style. For example, in the *.RC file, there will be a line that looks like this:

Copy Code 
CONTROL "",IDC_CONTROL_DTS_LONGDATEFORMAT,"SysDateTimePick32",
0x4,0,0,124,12

Add a new style next to the "0x4", such as "0x4 | DTM_STYLE". It will be changed by the dialog compiler to the correct hex value, provided the <commctrl.h>file is included. It is included in the resource.hfile in this example.
