You're dreaming. But you can easily add the functionality yourself. Years ago I created a datebox that used +/- to increase/decrease the day, M/m to go forward/backwards a month, Y/y, D/d to do the same thing for year/day. T or t to set date to Today. F or f for first day of month. L or l for last day of month. I would not use cursor keys as it locks the user into the control.
>If I'm not mistaken, I believe that a VFP textbox bound to a date field had some built in smarts that would let end users edit the date value by using the up/down arrow keys (and perhaps pageup/pagedn too). The month/day/year portions of the date would be automatically highlighted/selected and simply by pressing the up/down arrow keys, the highlighted value would increase/decrease by 1.
