<p id="280245" class="block-content"><tt>TDatePicker</tt> 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 <tt>DateFormat</tt> property. Valid formats are the combination of the
following tokens:

The date of the date picker can be set using the <tt>Date</tt> or <tt>Timestamp</tt>
properties. The <tt>Date</tt> property value must be in the same format as the pattern
specified in the <tt>DateFormat</tt> property. The <tt>Timestamp</tt> property
only accepts integers such as the Unix timestamp.
</p>

<p id="280247" class="block-content">
TDatePicker has three <tt>Mode</tt> to show the date picker popup.</p>
 <ul id="u1" class="block-content">
        <li><tt>Basic</tt> - Only shows a text input, focusing on the input shows the date picker.</li>
        <li><tt>Button</tt> - Shows a button next to the text input, clicking on the button shows the date, button text can be by the <tt>ButtonText</tt> property.</li>
        <li><tt>ImageButton</tt> - Shows an image next to the text input, clicking on the image shows the date picker, image source can be change through the <tt>ImageUrl</tt> property.</li>
 </ul>

<p id="280248" class="block-content">The <tt>CssClass</tt> property can be used to override the CSS class name
for the date picker panel. The <tt>CalendarStyle</tt> property changes the overall calendar style.
The following <tt>CalendarStyle</tt> values are available:</p>
        <ul id="u2" class="block-content">
                <li><tt>default</tt> - The default calendar style.</li>
        </ul>

<p id="280249" class="block-content">The <tt>InputMode</tt> property can be set to "TextBox" or "DropDownList" with
default as "TextBox". In <tt>DropDownList</tt> mode, in addition to the popup date picker, three
drop down list (day, month and year) are presented to select the date .
When <tt>InputMode</tt> equals "DropDownList", the order and appearance of the date, month, and year
will depend on the pattern specified in <tt>DateFormat</tt> property.
</p>

<p id="280250" class="block-content">The popup date picker can be hidden by specifying <tt>ShowCalendar</tt> as false. Much of the
text of the popup date picker can be changed to a different language using the <tt>Culture</tt> property.
</p>

<p id="280251" class="block-content">The calendar picker year limit can be set using the <tt>FromYear</tt> and <tt>UpToYear</tt> properties
where <tt>FromYear</tt> is the starting year and <tt>UpToYear</tt> is the last year selectable.
The starting day of the week can be changed by the <tt>FirstDayOfWeek</tt> property, with 0 as Sunday, 1 as Monday, etc.
</p>

<p id="280252" class="block-content"><b>Note 1:</b> If the <tt>InputMode</tt> is "TextBox", the <tt>DateFormat</tt> should
only <b>NOT</b> contain <code>MMM</code> or <code>MMMM</code> patterns. The
server side date parser will not be able to determine the correct date if <code>MMM</code> or
<code>MMMM</code> are used. When <tt>InputMode</tt> equals "DropDownList", all patterns can be used.</p>

<p id="280253" class="block-content"><b>Note 2:</b> When the <tt>TDatePicker</tt> is used together
with a validator, the <tt>DateFormat</tt> property of the validator must be equal to
the <tt>DateFormat</tt> of the <tt>TDatePicker</tt> <b>AND</b> must set <tt>DataType</tt>="Date"
on the validator to ensure correct validation. See
<a href="?page=Controls.Validation#TCompareValidator">TCompareValidator</a>,
<a href="?page=Controls.Validation#TDataTypeValidator">TDataTypeValidator</a> and
<a href="?page=Controls.Validation#TRangeValidator">TRangeValidator</a>
