There are many ways to gather date and time values from the user. Here are more controls that are included in Peter's Date and Time.

MonthYearTextBox

This variation of the DateTextBox omits the day part of the date. Use it to when you need to retrieve the month and year, such as for credit card expiration dates. It has nearly all the same properties and features as DateTextBox. Instead of a popup calendar, it offers the popup MonthYearPicker. The DateTextBox validators support this control.



Here is the same control but with a different format for the popup MonthYearPicker called "FewYearsPicker":

AnniversaryTextBox

This variation of the DateTextBox omits the year part of the date. Use it to when you need to retrieve the month and day, for dates that recur annually, like an anniversary or a holiday. It has nearly all the same properties and features as DateTextBox. One key difference is that the popup calendar never shows the year and only reflects dates from January 1 to December 31 of one year. The DateTextBox validators support this control.

December

QuickDateMenu

This is a special popup menu with a list of dates the user is likely to enter so the user can avoid typing. When the QuickDateMenu is connected to a date range, it can have terms like "This Week", "Last Month", and "Year To Date". You can define dates using a "relative date" rule, where you describe how to calculate a date offset from today such as "The first day of 1 week ago" and "The last day of the year."

Popup Calendar

This is popup version of Calendar. While it is built into the DateTextBox control, you can add it to your own Textboxes and other interfaces.
The PopupCalendar contains two parts, a toggle button and the Calendar control that is initially hidden. The toggle button can be textual, an HTML button, or an image. It supports effects when you press the mouse on it. When the user clicks on the toggle button, the Calendar appears.
The documentation details how to hookup JavaScript to pass values between your fields and the PopupCalendar.

MonthYearPicker

This is a special kind of calendar that shows only months and years. It is used by the Calendar to jump quickly to any month/year. However, you can use it yourself. One possible application is for credit card expiration date selection without a textbox. The MonthYearPicker supports a keyboard entry that allows the user to type the month name and the year to move the selected cells. It also offers numerous formatting options.

TimePicker

Provides a list of times or durations from which the user can select one value. Its formatting can show multiple rows and columns. You can insert title rows such as "Morning" and "Afternoon". Times can be unselectable and some cells of the timepicker can have non-time related information, such as a blank cell.

This control is built into the TimeOfDayTextBox and DurationTextBox.
