I am creating a .net project and am adding custom renderers. I have this code for creating the date field into 3 listboxes, the Month, theDay and theYear. I would like to add an on_change() event (or some such mechanism) to change theDay from 1-31 to the appropriate number of days (I have to consider leap years too).

        Dim theMonth As New ListBox
        '' theMonth.Width = Unit.Parse("21pt")
        theMonth.ID = Me.ID & "_theMonth"
        theMonth.Items.Add(New ListItem("Jan", "01"))
        theMonth.Items.Add(New ListItem("Feb", "02"))
        theMonth.Items.Add(New ListItem("Mar", "03"))

        Dim theDay As New ListBox
        'theDay.Width = Unit.Parse("14pt")
        theDay.ID = Me.ID & "_theDay"
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 1 To 31
            theDay.Items.Add(New ListItem(i, i))
        Next

        Dim theYear As New ListBox
        'theYear.Width = Unit.Parse("28pt")
        theYear.MaxLength = 4
        theYear.ID = Me.ID & "_lastFour"
        Dim x As Integer = System.DateTime.Today.Year
        For i = 1900 To x
            theYear.Items.Add(New ListItem(i, i))
        Next

        Dim theMonthRequiredValidator As New RequiredFieldValidator
        theMonthRequiredValidator.ControlToValidate = Me.ID & "_theMonth"
        theMonthRequiredValidator.ErrorMessage = "Choose a month, this field is required."
        theMonthRequiredValidator.Display = ValidatorDisplay.None

        Dim theDayRequiredValidator As New RequiredFieldValidator
        theDayRequiredValidator.ControlToValidate = Me.ID & "_theDay"
        theDayRequiredValidator.ErrorMessage = "Choose a day, this field is required."
        theDayRequiredValidator.Display = ValidatorDisplay.None

        Dim theYearRequiredValidator As New RequiredFieldValidator
        theYearRequiredValidator.ControlToValidate = Me.ID & "_theYear"
        theYearRequiredValidator.ErrorMessage = "Choose a year, this field is required."
        theYearRequiredValidator.Display = ValidatorDisplay.None

        Me.Parent.Controls.Add(theMonthRequiredValidator)
        Me.Parent.Controls.Add(theDayRequiredValidator)
        Me.Parent.Controls.Add(theYearRequiredValidator)

        Me.Parent.Controls.Add(theMonth)
        Me.Parent.Controls.Add(theDay)
        Me.Parent.Controls.Add(theYear)

Thanks for the help!

This would probably be better posted in Beginning VB.NOT. . .

Thanks Brian,

Do you have some idea how I would add a lost_focus or on_change event?

Thanks!

I have added theMonth.Items.AutoPostBack = true and would like to know how I would now find the current selected value. If I do the AutoPostBack I then get the whole INIT started again and I'm really after what is selected so that I can populate the day field.

Thanks!
