$Description: A date control that pops up a calendar.$
$KeyWordsOff: $

A date control that pops up a calendar. Derived from code posted at http://softwaredev.earthweb.com/java/article/0,,12082_735291,00.html by Paul Book.

Works under java 1.3 and 1.4.1. A bug in 1.4.0 causes very odd behavior under Windows LAF, but should work fine under other LAFs.
