FIX: The calendar control selects the whole year if you use the up-down control to scroll the year value backward in Windows CE 5.0 (897579)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE 5.0

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Windows CE 5.0, the calendar control selects the whole year if you scroll the year value backward by using the associated up-down control.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the event handler for the up-down control sets the selection start. However, the event handler does not set the end date. When you move the year backward by using the up-down control, this behavior causes the whole year to be selected.
