You can use the desk accessories to help the user with data entry. You can add a feature to your application that enables the user to select a date from the Calendar/Diary. The application then transfers the selected date to a data entry field. DESKACC.PRG illustrates how to use the Calendar/Diary, Calculator, and ASCII Table desk accessories for a data entry application. The DESKACC.PRG program displays a window containing a simple data entry form. The form contains a date, numeric, and character input field. When the user moves off the field, the appropriate desk accessory is invoked to assist with data entry. See Chapter 7.
