DateTimePicker control - how to display a blank date when the form loads?

[ruvi]

Hi,

I have a datetimepicker control in my form. It works fine except for one thing-
Its default value is automatically set to today's date. I want the control to be blank when the form loads.
Can you please point me in the right direction about how to do this?

Thanks for your time.

make the checkbox property of the DTpicker to True and type
DTPicker.value= "" in the Form_Load Event

But, the checkbox also gets displayed. Is there anyway to do it without displaying the checkbox?
