Example

Executing the example requires a form with the button named Button1 on it, the TabSheetBox component and the UiTabSheet component named UiTabSheet1, which is the data source for TabSheetBox.

Class TestForm: Form
    Button1: Button;
    UiTabSheet1: UiTabSheet;
    TabSheetBox1: TabSheetBox;

    Sub Button1OnClick(Sender: Object; Args: IMouseEventArgs);
    Var
        BM: IBindingManager;
        DateTimePickerBinding: IBindingDateTimePicker;
        DTValue: DateTime;
    Begin
        BM := New BindingManager.Create;
        DateTimePickerBinding := BM.CreateByUi("DateTimePicker") As IBindingDateTimePicker;
        DateTimePickerBinding.CheckBox := True;
        DateTimePickerBinding.CheckBoxFocus := True;
        DateTimePickerBinding.DropCalendar := True;
        DateTimePickerBinding.Spin := True;
        DateTimePickerBinding.Time := True;
        DTValue := DateTime.Now;
        DateTimePickerBinding.MinValue := DateTime.AddYears(DTValue, -5);
        DateTimePickerBinding.MaxValue := DateTime.AddYears(DTValue, 5);
        DateTimePickerBinding.Value := DTValue;
        UiTabSheet1.TabSheet.Cell(0, 0).Style.Binding := DateTimePickerBinding.AsString;
    End Sub Button1OnClick;

End Class TestForm;

Clicking the button sets the value editor for the A0 table cell. On editing the cell, the date and time editor with arrows to increase or decrease values of component values and the button to call the drop-down calendar - current date and time are displayed. The limit of available values is five years from current date.
