Hello,

I’m willing to use the CExtDateBrowserWnd for selecting a (possibly long) date range. For this I thought doing it by keeping the last two date clicked (and then closing the popup calendar).
Unfortunately I couldn’t find the right event callback for this type of click. As the closest one (according to the sample program) is OnDateBrowserTimeChanged(), but it’s also called when clicking on a month.

How could I achieve this ?

We think you should ignore the case when the user clicks left right arrows on the top corners of the date browser control. Your design is oriented to clicks on the exact day numbers. Alternatively you can change your design and use two date browsers for entering two dates.

Thanks for the tip. It works well except in one case: when the user changes the current month without changing ViewMode.
I’ll try to get around this with a mouse cursor hit test if there is no other way.

Yes, you should override the CExtDateBrowserWnd::OnDateBrowserTimeChanged() virtual method. Your method should use the CExtDateBrowserWnd::ViewModeGet() method to determine the current date view mode set for the CExtDateBrowserWnd control. If the current mode is CExtDateBrowserWnd::__EVM_MONTH then your method should save the clicked dates.
