The MonthCalendar component realizes an expanded calendar, which allows to edit the date value. The calendar supports dates within the range between 01.01.1601 and 31.12.9999.
Language to display text of different elements of component depends on regional settings of the operation system.
Using the Colors property, it is possible to change formatting of various calendar items.
