BCTGetDate is a button to drop on a form,etc to get a date from a BSTCalendar Selector Procedure. Because they are controls, you can change properties and salt to taste.
The template adds a small button using the ICON:VCRlocate, as always you can salt to taste<g>.
The Prompts are simple and straight forward.
They should be self-explanatory. See Jump Date below.
Ini File for Parameter is used for passing the dates back and forth. .\BST.INI is used thru out the templates for storing format settings for the different templates and passing dates. Usually there is no need to change this setting. It is stored in the root directory of the app, allowing individual settings for users. It must match the setting in the Calendar used for the selector process.
When the template detects a BST Navigation Calendar or Bar, it enables the 'Use as "Jump Date" to Save File Hits' checkbox. Checking this box automatically fills in the 'Field to Receive Date' with Bs:UseDate, and calls the Routine necessary to update the calendars and listboxes on return to the procedure. This is very handy to add to the procedures with BST listboxes when you want to navigate through several months, or days, etc. This allows you to select the destination date, and only hit the files once and reload the listboxes.
