Hello,

I am using the date-time control picker.

Is there an easier way to subtract or add any number of days from the selected date or will I have to do a manual calculation and set the date?


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Is it pure C++, or you can use MFC?

If you use MFC then the simplest way to add days is to use COleDateTime() class for the dates from the DateTime picker together with COleDateTimeSpan class to add/subtract the days:
C++
CDateTimeCtrl *pDt = (CDateTimeCtrl*)GetDlgItem(IDC_DATEPICKER1);
COleDateTime dt1;
pDt->GetTime(dt1);
COleDateTimeSpan Day(1, 0, 0, 0);
COleDateTimeSpan Days2(2, 0, 0, 0);
COleDateTime tomorrow = dt1 + Day;
COleDateTime beforeYesterday = dt1 - Days2;
