The following table shows the styles that are supported by Windows CE.

Date and time picker style Description
DTS_APPCANPARSE Enables the owner to parse user input. When a date time picker (DTP) control has this style, a user can make changes within the client area of the control by pressing the F2 key. The control sends a DTN_USERSTRING notification message when the user is finished editing.
DTS_LONGDATEFORMAT Displays the date in long format. The default format string for this style is defined by LOCALE_SLONGDATEFORMAT, which produces output like "Sunday, April 19, 1998."
DTS_NONEBUTTON Specifies that the None button should be displayed instead of a check box in the Date Time Picker control. To display the None button, you must also specify the DTS_SHOWNONE style.
DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT Displays the date in short format. The default format string for this style is defined by LOCALE_SSHORTDATE, which produces output like "4/19/98."
DTS_SHORTDATECENTURYFORMAT Similar to the DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT style, except the year is a four-digit field. The default format string for this style is based on LOCALE_SSHORTDATE. The output looks like: "4/19/1996".
DTS_SHOWNONE Enables the control to accept "no date" as a valid selection state. This state can be set with the DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME message or verified with the DTM_GETSYSTEMTIME message.
DTS_TIMEFORMAT Displays the time. The default format string for this style is defined by LOCALE_STIMEFORMAT, which produces output like "5:31:42 PM." An up-down control is placed to the right of the DTP control to modify time values.
DTS_UPDOWN Places an up-down control to the right of a DTP control to modify time values. This style can be used instead of the drop-down month calendar, which is the default style.
