The control displays variable information as any alpha-numeric character of text, numbers, times, etc. within a text object field, which allows user interaction for editing.
The Variable Edit control supports the ability to display a date/time editor, if the control is based upon a DATETIME data type. The date/time editor will open if the control is double clicked or if [Alt+Insert] is pressed. If exists, the control hint will be used as the date/time editor title bar text. Note that double click will only work if there is no EEP assigned to the double click event, nor a defined pop-up menu assigned to the control.
