TDBDate Calendar Object Properties

The Calendar object provides a drop down calendar for easy entry of dates at run time, which is especially useful if the user is trying to enter a time marker as opposed to a date. To display the drop down calendar, you must enable the DropDown object. This object is an embedded version of the Calendar control provided in the product. If users require further detail customization, please create a user calendar with the Calendar control.

The properties of the Calendar object can be set with the Calendar Property Page (TDBDate) at design time, and can be set with Visual Basic code at run time.

The following key and mouse interfaces are provided for the drop-down calendar for navigation and selection:
