Notes:
•The calendar control displayed uses a native Windows operating system calendar control which is based on the operating system version. The calendar will display differently between Windows 2000 and XP versus Windows Vista and 7 due to the different calendar controls used within the operating systems.
•As the Calendar object cannot display NULL values as a valid DATE, all NULL values will display the current date in the object. When used in enter mode, even though the object displays the current date, the value is NOT stored in the variable unless the object is focused at any point. |
