Hello,

I found that I was constantly writing functions to take the string that was returned from the DateTimeCtrl and converting it back to the format understood by it. I added the following line to the DateTimeCtrl Class:

DateTimeCtrl& SetDate(String dte);

And added the following function definition:

DateTimeCtrl& DateTimeCtrl::SetDate(String dte)
{
int y,m,d;
y = atoi(dte.Left(4));
m = atoi(dte.Mid(5, 2));
d = atoi(dte.Right(2));
SetData(Date(y, m, d));
return *this;
}

I'm sure it not the most effective method, but it does work. Attached are the modified files.
