Hi, Austin.

This information is outdated probably. There's a message to set a
calendar for MonthCal at least, see:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760995%28VS.85%29.aspx

Not sure about DateTimePicker, it uses Monthcal internally so a
calendar could still be switched.
Anyway this won't work on pre-Vista and without a manifest for v6, but
you could enable tests using V6 loading
helpers that we have already and MCM_SETCALID message, so tests will
run on Arabic or some Asian boxes.

I don't understand what you are suggesting exactly.  Is it that the
CALID of the MonthCal be set to the locale CALID or to set it to the
Gregorian CALID? Either way I don't see how it helps as the problem is
with the control of functions like GetDateFormat to choose a CALID
which matches the one which the controls falls back on when the locale
has a non-Gregorian calendar (something I haven't figured out).
