TDatePicker displays a text box for date input purpose.
+When the text box receives focus, a calendar will pop up and users can
+pick up from it a date that will be automatically entered into the text box.
+The format of the date string displayed in the text box is determined by
+the DateFormat property. Valid formats are the combination of the
+following tokens:
+
+
+The date of the date picker can be set using the Date or Timestamp +properties. The Date property value must be in the same format as the pattern +specified in the DateFormat property. The Timestamp property +only accepts integers such as the Unix timestamp. +
+-TBD +TDatePicker has three Mode to show the date picker popup. +
The CssClass property can be used to override the css class name +for the date picker panel. The CalendarStyle property changes the overall calendar style. +The following CalendarStyle values are available: +
The InputMode property can be set to "TextBox" or "DropDownList" with +default as "TextBox". In DropDownList mode, in addition to the popup date picker, three +drop down list (day, month and year) are presented to select the date . +When InputMode equals "DropDownList", the order and appearance of the date, month, and year +will depend on the pattern specified in DateFormat property. +
+ +The popup date picker can be hidden by specifying ShowCalendar as false. Much of the +text of the popup date picker can be changed to a different language using the Culture property. +
+ +The calendar picker year limit can be set using the FromYear and UpToYear properties +where FromYear is the starting year and UpToYear is the last year selectable. +The starting day of the week can be changed by the FirstDayOfWeek property, with 0 as Sunday, 1 as Monday, etc. +
+ +Note 1: If the InputMode is "TextBox", the DateFormat should
+only NOT contain MMM or MMMM patterns. The
+server side date parser will not be able to determine the correct date if MMM or
+MMMM are used. When InputMode equals "DropDownList", all patterns can be used.
Note 2: When the TDatePicker is used together +with a validator, the DateFormat property of the validator must be equal to +the DateFormat of the TDatePicker AND must set DataType="Date" +on the validator to ensure correct validation. See +TCompareValidator, +TDataTypeValidator and +TRangeValidator +for details.
