The drop-down calendar option is available for use on any column in a form with an EditMask, and a Date, DateTime, or TimeStamp datatype. The DDCalendar EditMask property option allows for separate selections of the calendar month, year, and date. This option can be set in a check box on the Edit tab of the Form painter Properties view when a column with the EditMask edit style is selected.
You can set the following properties to control the display of the calendar in a script or on the Other page in the Properties view for the column:
