SYMPTOMS
When a DateTimePicker (DTPicker) control has focus, the ALT+F4 key
combination does not work. If focus is moved to another control such as a
TextBox, the ALT+F4 keystroke behaves normally.
RESOLUTION
Utilizing either the KeyDown or KeyUp event of the DTPicker control, you
can manually watch for the ALT+F4 keystroke combination and take the
appropriate action, such as closing the application.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.
