Tip of the Week (Entering date values into the Date/Time control)

The BigWave Date/Time control was written to facilitate easy and rapid data entry.  Some hints and tips:

  • The control supports several hotkeys including:
    • t - Sets the date to the current date (today)
    • Up Arrow - Previous day
    • Dn Arrow - Next Day
    • Page Up - Previous Month
    • Page Dn - Next Month
    • Home - Start Of Year / Previous Year
    • End - End Of Year / Next Year
  • Hitting a key other than the ones listed above or a numeric key will result in a help box that displays the available hotkeys.
  • You can enter dates using the period as a separator.  For example, if you want to enter December 11, 2007, you can simply type ‘12.17′, hit tab, and the control will fill in with 12/17/2007!
