Hi,
From the wxWidgets forum I found out that wxDatePickerCtrl-1 which is
displayed when I use Lua which uses the wx.dll is the generic control while
wxDatePickerCtrl-2 is the Native windows control. Also in windows wxWidgets
automatically uses the native control unless we explicitly use the
wxDatePickerCtrlGeneric
So does anybody have any idea why the wx.dll uses the generic
control for wxDatePickerCtrl. This is just one difference as mentioned in
the email chain below there are other differences as well.
Thanks,
Milind
