Appearance (10) 

Set the appearance to match a DateString specification:

In[15]:=

Out[15]=

Use a list of DateString specifications. Valid granularities automatically become controls while other strings display as written:

In[16]:=

Out[16]=

Use Rule to suggest the control type. None suppresses the control:

In[17]:=

Out[17]=

Use a control like SetterBar or PopupMenu instead of the default:

In[18]:=

Out[18]=

The DateString specification "MonthName" and its short variants are special cases. They provide a labeled control to set the month value:

In[19]:=

Out[19]=

In[20]:=

Out[20]=

Use "Calendar" to create a day calendar control:

In[21]:=

Out[21]=

Use PopupMenu to hide the day calendar until you click the control:

In[22]:=

Out[22]=

Use a pure function to specify the appearance of an individual control. The first Slot is automatically filled with the appropriate Dynamic expression:

In[23]:=

Out[24]=

For date elements that have a finite number of values, like the months, use a second Slot to indicate labeled date elements:

In[25]:=

Out[26]=

Use a pure function for the Appearance option to set the overall appearance. Named slots with date elements are replaced with the corresponding granularity control:

In[27]:=

Out[28]=

Background (2) 

Change the background color:

In[29]:=

Out[29]=

Background is ignored if the Appearance is a pure function:

In[30]:=

Out[30]=

BaseStyle (2) 

Use a named style:

In[31]:=

Out[31]=

Affect the specific control types using their box options:

In[32]:=

Out[33]=

CalendarType (1) 

Use CalendarType to set the calendar:

In[34]:=

Out[35]=

DateFormat (4) 

DateFormat only affects the underlying DateObject expression:

In[36]:=

Out[37]=

In[38]:=

Out[38]=

If specifying individual DateString elements then the delimiter is automatically chosen:

In[39]:=

Out[40]=

In[41]:=

Out[41]=

Use an Association to specify both the elements and delimiters. The "Elements" key is used to list the DateString elements and specify the delimiter with the "Delimiters" key:

In[42]:=

Out[43]=

In[44]:=

Out[44]=

Use Appearance to alter the automatic appearance of the interface without affecting the underlying DateObject:

In[45]:=

Out[46]=

In[47]:=

Out[47]=

Enabled (2) 

By default, DateSetter is enabled:

In[48]:=

Out[48]=

Be setting Enabled → False, the interface is disabled but visible in its current state:

In[49]:=

Out[49]=

ImageMargins (1) 

Add margins outside the date setter:

In[50]:=

Out[50]=

ImageSize (2) 

Set the width of the date setter:

In[51]:=

Out[51]=

The display clips if ImageSize is too small:

In[52]:=

Out[52]=

LabelingFunction (3) 

The individual granularity controls are automatically labeled using Tooltip. Hover over the individual controls to see the calendar granularity that they affect:

In[53]:=

Out[53]=

Use LabelingFunction→None to suppress all labels:

In[54]:=

Out[54]=

Use directions Left, Right, Above and Below to insert granularity control labels within the interface:

In[55]:=

Out[55]=

TimeZone (1) 

Use TimeZone to set the time zone specification of the underlying DateObject:

In[56]:=

Out[57]=

In[58]:=

Out[58]=
