day = 30
number = 2 (' which is monday)

i want to display it like this

NULL 1  2  3   4   5   6

In your example, you have number = 2, however, your 'calendar-like-buttons' start from 1. I don't get the reason why.

1 there is the start of the date, 2 resembles the 2nd day of the week which is monday thats why the first column is null because it is sunday, so the calendar days will start on monday :)

You can, and it's not difficult - just set the Text property of each button in turn.
But...why not just fix the text and just move the buttons?
Set up 31 buttons, (and to be honest I'd do that dynamically anyway, because I'm lazy) and store them in an array.
Then, find the DOW for the first of the month, and offset it by the width of the buttons to locate the initial X coordinate. Loop through each button: Set the X and Y location, then add the button width to the X. If you just did the last day of the week, set X to zero, and increase Y by the button height.
Repeat.

Done!

Thank you Mr OriginalGriff, can you give me the actual code so that i could test it?

OriginalGriff 10-Dec-13 4:49am

Oh come on!
It's two simple lines of set up code, a loop, and the body of the loop is a couple of lines, and a condition!
What part of this is difficult for you?

Man, you're starting to sound like me! ;)

OriginalGriff 10-Dec-13 11:33am

I'll take that as a complement! :laugh:

Im sorry Mr OriginalGriff but can you explain it more detailed?
im a newbie and i cant understand T_T

OriginalGriff 11-Dec-13 3:19am

Which bit do you not understand?
What part do you understand?

The problem is that I don;t know what you do and don't know, so I don't want to insult you by being too simple, but I don't want to confuse you either. And the last thing I want to do is give it to you on a plate, because then you wouldn't learn anything! :laugh:

So try to tell me what you do and don't understand, and I'll try to guide you through from that. OK?

Ive done it in my long way , thanks Mr OriginalGriff :) I understand you
