Creating a Calender in VB6

Creating a calender in VB6 is a relatively simple task. There is no need to write your own code. What you do is insert the calender component of an ActiveX Control that comes with VB6 into the form. However, the ActiveX control is not included into the toolbox by default, you have to add it with the following steps:

1. From the Project menu, choose Components
2. In the Components dialog, select Microsoft Windows Common Controls 2-6.0 and click OK.
The Calender control will be added to the toolbox. 

3. Select the MonthView control icon from the Visual Basic ToolBox 

4. Drag the MonthView control into the form. 

Now run the program and there you have your very own calender!

 

There is another way to create a calender in VB. This time you use the Microsoft Calender Control 11. As this is also an ActiveX control, it is not launched into the toolbox by default, you need to add it in using the method similar to the above example.
1. From the Project menu, choose Components
2. In the Components dialog, select Microsoft Calender Control 11 and click OK.
Now the calender control will appear in the toolbox. Drag it into the form and press F5 to run the program, and you have your calender as shown below:

 

Try them out yourself. Everyone can do it!
