Calendar control - Bold/Color/etc

I'm writing a script that has a couple of calendar controls on it. At the start they are disabled and only enabled as each one is required to be used, however, the difference between enabled and disabled is so small (just the month change arrows seem to change) that it's barely noticeable. So I was thinking I could make the one I want active bold and the others regular or change the colors or something, but I donââ,¬â,,¢t see any way of doing that using the dialogcontrolset function. Am I missing something here or is that as intended?

Thanks

Unfortunately the Calendar Dialog control provided with WIL Dialogs are not very customizable. The only Calendar controls styles you modify in the callback procedure is the invisible or disabled styles. Maybe include a GROUPBOX control around each calendar that is invisible when inactive and visible when active.

:-) I've got a Groupbox round it that I was changing from Black text to Red, but was hoping to make it stand out a bit more - I'll think of something.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

Another possible idea would be to create 4 Calendar controls. 2 unbolded font and 2  bolded font, then flip the invisible styles to switch from unbolded to bolded controls. For example: http://techsupt.winbatch.com/webcgi/webbatch.exe?techsupt/tsleft.web+WinBatch/Dialog~Editor/Dialog~Editor~version~6.X+Update~Font~Style~in~Dialog.txt

Here is a UDF I made a long time ago to address the lack of colour selection in Dialog Calendar Controls, it is followed by an Example Dialog I just made..

Code (winbatch) Select

;Component : A number representing the part of the Calendar Control you want to change....                                                ;

;            BACKGROUND = 0 , TEXT = 1 , TITLE BACKGROUND = 2 , TITLE TEXT = 3 , MONTH BACKGROUND = 4 , TRAILING TEXT = 5                 ;
;RGB       : Can be either: "RED|GREEN|BLUE" value (use 0 to 255 for each seperated by | as a text string - ie: in quotes)                ;
;                            OR the decimal value of the RedGreenBlue combined values (as returned by this UDF or in memory locations)    ;
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------;
