That has nothing to do with the Calendar control - that's part of
the underlying problems with dDateTextBox. We do a lot of 'under-the-
hood' manipulation to allow the control to display dates in various
formats. I'm thinking that it would probably be best to simply let
the user's system control that instead. But I need to spend some time
working on this.

I don't see that. What platform? The calendar is on a panel, and
that panel is created in the same parent object as the dDateTextBox.

Again, I haven't see that. Can you set up individual tracker issues
for these, along with steps to reproduce them? I'm leaving town for a
couple of days tomorrow, and don't want to forget.

OK, that's probably a bug. Please enter a tracker issue on it.

That's by design. It has to first get a value before it can validate
it. Invalid values ideally shouldn't be allowed to ever be entered,
but since we are using a text box, it unfortunately can happen.

Perhaps, but impossible to say with that traceback. I've never tried
entering default values of None, but I can see how the inconsistent
typing could be a problem.
