MyCal\dwICC=$100
InitCommonControlsEx_(@MyCal)

;
datepick=CreateWindowEx_(0,"SysDateTimePick32","DateTime",#WS_CHILD|#WS_VISIBLE|4,10,10,200,25,WindowID(),0,GetModuleHandle_(0),0)
;
Repeat 
  EventID=WaitWindowEvent()
  newdate$=Space(255) : GetWindowText_(datepick,newdate$,255)
  If newdate$prevdate$
    prevdate$=newdate$
    Debug "" : Debug "String = "+newdate$
    SendMessage_([url]mailto:datepick,#MCM_GETCURSEL,0,@time.SYSTEMTIME[/url])
    CalD=time\wDay : CalM=time\wMonth : CalY=time\wYear

Not all my code... I can't take all the credit. I basically took an
example from elsewhere here and modified it a bit to make extracting
the date string and days an easy task.
