Timepicker does not show the arrow beside it

Question

I would like to know i have removed Application.EnableVisualStyles () as the program i develop for progress bar it will be easier if i remove that statement of "Application.EnableVisualStyles". The problem i face was, when i put datetimepicker i set the showupdown to true, the arrow in show up down does not display as formerly with the statement "Application.EnabledStyles". Is there a way i can solve it without addding "Application.EnableVisualStyles". Thanks

It is like this for the datetimepicker enter image description here

i want like this for the datetimepicker with the enabled visual style removed enter image description here

Set the ShowUpDown property back to False. You can't have both, regardless of the visual style. — Hans Passant, Jan 27 '16 at 18:04

If you just want to use the old ProgressBar, this Hans Passant answer How do I disable visual styles for just one control, and not its children? shows how to turn visual styles off for a single control. I've adapted that code for your progress bar:

public class OldProgressBar : ProgressBar {

  [DllImportAttribute("uxtheme.dll")]
  private static extern int SetWindowTheme(IntPtr hWnd, string appName, string idlist);

  protected override void OnHandleCreated(EventArgs e) {
    SetWindowTheme(this.Handle, "", "");
    base.OnHandleCreated(e);
  }
}

Now you can use Application.EnableVisualStyles(); and still use the old progress bar control.
