TDateEdit Problems
lazarus / 31-LCL

As usual - i am probably missing something obvious ...   but after
including a TDateEdit on my form i get the following issues:

1: Dialog Title not set   (from searching, it was reported that it
works if set from the program - but not from Object Inspector - i
havent tested that

2:  CancelCaption set - but no Cancel button gets displayed - ESC key
seems to be the only option

3:  Readonly = true; basically disables the component, instead of just
preventing a date from being typed in.

As i said...  its prolly me -so this is is ask what I am doing
wrong...  rather than screaming 'BUG' 

thanks in advance for any help

Win 7 - Lazarus 1.06

I would first upgrade Lazarus to the latest stable and see if those
problems are still there.

There are a few things that work on other platforms but not in
MSWindows.  And I am guessing that you are writing you app. only for
English.  TDateEdit uses TCalendar and the "Today" does not change
when other languages are used.  There are a lot of other problems with
TCalendar.  You might want to consider creating your own control. 
TCalendar is junk.

Following what Avishai said: you can use the restriction browser in
Laz to see what limitations various controls have on various
widgetsets.
