What is the correct method to handle a date selection using CExtPopupDatePickerMenuWnd? I can’t find anything on this class in the Help and the samples show instantiating it, but not interacting with it.

Do I derive a new class from CExtPopupDatePickerMenuWnd, overide _OnMouseClick() and then use the m_pExternalSelectionInfo atribute?

I want to know that user has clicked on a date and then get that date.

Thanks,

It depends on you are using the CExtPopupDatePickerMenuWnd. If it is a CExtBarDateFieldButton toolbar button or menu item, you can override the CExtCustomizeSite::OnPopupDatePickerSelChange() virtual method in your CMainFrame class. If you are using CExtPopupDatePickerMenuWnd directly as a menu item, you can do this by handling the CExtDatePickerWnd::g_nMsgSelectionNotification notification. So to provide you with a more detailed answer, we need more details about in which way you are using CExtPopupDatePickerMenuWnd.

I found the sample code that uses the CExtDatePickerWnd::g_nMsgSelectionNotification and have it all working now.

Thanks for your help,

Thanks for the reply. I am using it from a menu item.

I’ve noticed there is a: CExtPopupInplaceDatePicker::pCbDatePickerSelection m_pCbDatePickerSelection; function pointer in CExtPopupDatePickerMenuWnd. Is this what’s used to get date picker notifications? If so can you provide a code example.

Thanks,
