If you're not using managed C++, then you're posting your question on the wrong board.
You should post on the Visual C++/MFC board.

Is there a way to code the program that is a user enters the month, day or year instead of selecting it from the drop-down list that the system will automatically select the index of the month, day and year of the number that they entered?

Yes.

You could also look into using the Month Calendar Control[^].

Thanks I appreciate it but the user was pretty clear on wanting to be able to enter the data by hand.

I appreciate the suggestion though!

The SetWindowText() API can be used to set the text of the LTEXT control.

To convert a numeric age value to a string for display, you could use the CRT
sprintf_s() function.

Array and String

char alpha[10] = "abcdefg";

string beta = "abcdefg";

alpha[1]= '\0'; gives the following result : alpha = a

beta[1]='\0'; gives the following result : beta = a cdefg

How can i use '\0' in strings as i use them in an array? I mean iwant that '\0' replace 'bcdefg' in string not just 'b'.

Thanks

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
char string1[10]="abcdef";
char string2[10]="abcdef";
string1[1]='\0';
string2[1]='\0';
printf("%s\n%s",string1,string2);
}
result:
a
a

Unfortunately, he is trying to modify a std::string and not a char array string.

Apparently, you are printing the result with the following: std::cout << beta << std::endl. If you print it with std::cout << beta.c_str() << std::endl, you get the desired print out. However, if you actually want to remove the characters following 'a' you can do this:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	std::string beta = "abcdefg";
	beta.erase(beta.begin() + 1, beta.end());
 
	std::cout << "Result #1: " << beta << std::endl;
	std::cout << "Result #2: " << beta.c_str() << std::endl;
 
	return 0;
}

Also, please post C++ questions in the C++ forum and not the C++/CLI forum.
