DatePicker v. 0.90 (test release)

DatePicker is a simple calendar component that looks much like MonthCalendar
common control (you can see it in TDateTimePicker, for example). You are able
to customize colors, set the beginning of the week, choose appropriate
action after date was selected, and more.

DatePicker is released as a freeware and since this is the very first release,
I'd like to hear your opinion on the component. If you find any bugs in this
component, want to see the some improvements or just express your feelings
about it, send the feedback to my e-mail address: [email protected]

What to test? Well, I am interested how the program works with different
screen resolutions, different fonts etc. Why didn't I test it myself? I just
haven't had enough time. I know it works alright with 800x600 screen resolution
and small fonts. If you find any mysterious behaviour under different
circumstances please let me know. Oh, and I'd like to know how the program
works with different international settings. I tried it with Estonian settings
but perhaps you live somewhere else?

What about source? As I already mentioned, this is a test release and
the source is not included. Maybe I'll ask small fee for the source after the
component will be officially released. Maybe not. Just haven't decided yet.
Your opinions on this matter are welcome as well.

Currently this component is available for Delphi 3 only. I will not release
Delphi 1/2 versions unless somebody asks for it. If it will happen, the D1
component will probably be freeware as well, the status of D2 component
depends on my decision about source availability since I don't have D2
around.
