Date Picker Overview

The Date Picker component allows the user to select a date from a pop-up calendar. Each Date Picker is associated with an input control such as a Textbox. When the user selects the date from the pop-up calendar, the date value is automatically entered into the associated control.

The pop-up calendar provides a visual display of the days within a month and also allows the user to browse forwards and backwards to other months. The value returned by the pop-up calendar when a date is clicked is based on the format specified in the Format property of the control. If the Format property is not defined then the date is returned in the format specified in the Default Date Format property of the project. If both properties are empty, then the date will be returned in the format "mm/dd/yyyy".

A Date Picker can be added in Record or Editable Grid forms only.
