Donald: I also used it quite a while and I was satisfied except the issues you mentioned. I've found out about DateTime a few weeks ago and compared it to CalendarCombo. And IMHO there is no need for another implementation. Especially if there is a default implementation and the custom one has some issues.
So don't missunderstand me, I don't want to blame anybody or bash something, I just wanted to tell that it might be a good time to clean up. :) On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 3:27 PM, Dunne, Donald G <[email protected]>wrote: > Dirk:**** > > ** ** > > As a user of CalendarCombo for the past 8 years, I appreciate the work > that went into it.
