The C1DateInput control, derived from C1MaskedInput, is specialized for editing the date and time. With the date-specific masked editing field, users can enter dates directly in the control, or use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to increase/decrease the value of the current field. The following image shows a C1DateInput control:
Using the DateFormat property, you can specify the following input without writing any custom validation logic in your application:
• Mask literals (characters that should appear directly in the C1DateInput control); for example, the colon (:) in time or the separator (/) in a date.
• The type of input required at a given position in the mask; for example, numeric or alphabetic.
• Custom input characters.
