Works perfectly for me.

Bear in mind that if you call SetDateFormat/Scan after you have entered a date into the Ctrl you won't see it change because it's stored internally as a WString. But if you change formats and then reopen the Calendar pop-up you can see that it has swapped formats correctly.

If you want the change the date format after dates have been entered you need to make sure the data gets parsed correctly:

SetDateFormat("%3:02d/%2:02d/%1:4d");
// Read using old format, then set using new format
date_field.SetData( date_field.GetData() );
SetDateScan("dmy");
