UseDateCombos Property

Gets or sets a value which determines whether date combo controls will be automatically generated on the form.

object.UseDateCombos as Integer

Note

A data combo control combines the features of a text box and a drop down calendar.

The recognition engine will automatically generate a date combo box where it detects an entry field in a host screen that contains a string that can be interpreted as a date. Setting this property to False on the form will prevent the date combo control from being generated. An input box will be displayed on the form instead.

A date entry field on a form with UseDateCombos set to True.

The same field on a form with UseDateCombos set to False.

Note:

Changing this property at run-time will cause the dynamic recognition engine to recreate the form and will result in the loss of any data that has been entered by the user. This property should not be changed within the Form events OnReceive or OnRefresh.
