Re: Forms 5 reusable component

There's a writeup on this on Metalink.

generally...

   Make a backup copy of the form.
   Get the calendar object
   Drag the Calendar Object into form.OBJECT GROUPS

      subclass it - see that the calendar blocks are created    Attach the calendar library (contains DATE_LOV package)

      to form.ATTACHED LIBRARIES
   Get and copy 'Date_Choosen' program unit to form.PROGRAM UNITS    Create a date field on the form.CANVASES.FORM_CANVAS    Get and copy calendar launch code to form.item.KEY_LISTVAL trigger    Run the form | select the field | [F9] | see the calendar.

  sometimes...

      Handle any oddities that appear at runtime when other
      form items get their canvas property set to the
      DATE_LOV_CANVAS. You have to go through items and reset
      their canvas property to NULL to get the form to work
      again, NOTE: this problem appears after you subclass the
      Calendar Object.
  optional
      Correct the spelling of DATE_CHOOSEN() so people won't
      laugh at your code thinking you don't know how to spell.
      Calls to it are made from
          DATE_CONTROL_BLOCK.OK_BUTTON.When_Button_Pressed
          DATE_BUTTON_BLOCK.When_Mouse_Doubleclick

good luck, Rich
