Question:
The documentation states that if the property lCheckBox for TDBDatePicker is
..T., "the control includes a checkbox to indicate blank dates. The only way
to indicate a blank date in this control is using this property."
Ok, so if the property is set to true, a checkbox appears on the control. If
the checkbox remains unchecked, then the control is treated as a blank date.
If the checkbox is checked, then the control's value is considered to be a
valid date.
How can I programatically tell whether the user has checked the box?
TIA,
Gary S. Rogers

Gary,
When the property lCheckBox is set to true, a checkbox is shown in the
control.
When THAT checkbox is checked the property TDatePicker:dValue returns the
date value of the control, if not, it returns an empty date.
So, if TDatePicker:lCheckBox is set to true, you can be sure the checkbox
is cheked when TDatePicker:dValue returns a non empty value.

Ignacio,
Is it possible that when the checkbox is NOT checked, that the control could
show a blank date, rather than the current date? It is confusing to my users
to see a date there when in fact the value is empty.

Use the TDateEdit control from the Aditional tab.
