Classes

Class XbpDatePicker() Foundation

Class function of the XbpDatePicker class

Description

Objects of the XbpDatePicker class allow for a comfortable selection of a date. They appear on-screen like a combo box but do not have a drop-down list. Instead of the drop-down list, an XbpMonthView object is displayed. This object offers a user a way to select a date from an entire month.

To function properly, the XbpDatePicker class requires a certain system component, the Microsoft Common Controls 2 Version 6.0, to be installed on your computer. Normally, this component is not installed along with the operating system, so provisions must be taken to distribute the component with your Xbase++ application. For further information, please see the 'File Info' section on this page.
