Remarks

This method sends the DTM_GETDATETIMEPICKERINFO message, which is described in the Windows SDK. 

Example

The following code example defines the variable, m_dateTimeCtrl, that is used to programmatically access the date and time picker control. This variable is used in the next example.

    // Variable to access date-time control.
    CDateTimeCtrl m_dateTimeCtrl;
    // Variable to access the splitbutton control
    CSplitButton m_splitbutton;

The following code example indicates whether it successfully retrieves information about the current date and time picker control.

void CCDateTimeCtrl_s1Dlg::OnXGetdatetimepickerinfo()
{
    // Get information about the date-time picker control.
    DATETIMEPICKERINFO dtpi = {0};
    dtpi.cbSize = sizeof(DATETIMEPICKERINFO);
    BOOL rc = m_dateTimeCtrl.GetDateTimePickerInfo( &dtpi );
    if (rc == TRUE)
        AfxMessageBox(_T("Information retrieved"), 
            MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
    else 
        AfxMessageBox(_T("Information was not retrieved"));
}
