I don’t see a difference between the two DateFields; am I missing something?
Bob Spidell,
Click the text field in the top DateField control. You should see a slight drop shadow around the pop up DateChooser control. The bottom DateField control removes the drop shadow around the pop up DateChooser control by setting the
dateChooserStyleNameanddropShadowEnabledstyles.Peter
