CALENDAR dialog element
Syntax
DIALOG ADD,CALENDAR,<name>,<top>,<left>,<width>,<height>,<value>,<tooltip>,<styles>
Description
This dialog element creates a calendar at the position and size specified, set to the date <value>. If <value> is not specified, the calendar is set to today's date.
[VDS5] The date cannot be set using the DIALOG ADD command. The date may only be set using a DIALOG SET command, with the date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. The selected date may be read using the @DLGTEXT function, and is returned in the form mm|dd|yyyy, in a format suitable for parsing into separate variables using the PARSE command. Note that the information returned by this dialog element ignores the field separator selection made using OPTION FIELDSEP.
[VDS6] The date values used by this dialog element are floating-point values compatible with the @DATETIME function, which may be used to convert to and from a readable date format.
