This code taken from the help .chm file.

> only thing changed is this line: "_GUICtrlDTP_SetSystemTimeEx($hDTP, $tDate, True)" and the fact i've commented the ";_GUICtrlDTP_SetFormat($hDTP, "ddd MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm ttt")"... if you'll check that code you'll find that the DTP isn't set to "no date" but it is set to todays time...

P.S-> is there any suggestion on how to make it blank ?!

I have seen Gary recommend against creating controls with the native functions, getting the handle, and then manipulating with the UDF functions. Switch the control creation to the UDF version makes it do what I think you are seeking:

ummzz... thanks a lot for the tip, however it had nothing to do with the function creating the DTP control but to the style "$DTS_SHOWNONE" i didn't knew as a part of the process.... i mean, i saw it before but i was hoping there is some way to leave it as is without any checkbox shoved inside and yet displaying an emptied Input for the DTP...

Anyhow - THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP !!!
