Hi Mark, Thanks for that. I'll put it down under 'user training'!

Hi, This is just an implementation detail. If you set the style flag wxDP_ALLOWNONE (as the wxperl_demo does ) then you will get the check box in Windows. There has to be a way for you to indicate 'no date' and using the native Windows control this would seem to be the only way. On Linux, the control used there allows you to edit the date directly so you can simply delete the date and have an empty box to indicate no date. It seems a bit of a clunky interface to me, but that's how it is implemented. If I had a reason to collect user input and a date field were optional, I think I'd use an entirely separate check box to indicate whether a date was included and enable/ disable a calnedar ctrl from that. Hope it helps. Mark On 02/04/2013 13:49, Steve Cookson wrote: > Hi Guys, > > My Wx::DatePickerCtrl is displaying a select tickbox next to it under > Windows. Is this Normal?
