Hi,

When using iphonePickDate I can't seem to get it to return any value before 12/31/1969. In my app this is a problem. Is anyone else using this control and does it work with all dates? I also can't seem to get the picker displayed to honor my initial date setting but at this point it is a minor issue given the app is not functional with the date picker unable to return old dates. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John

Answering my own question, according to the docs, the date picker only returns values to the beginning of the "Unix Epoch" which, as it turns out, is January 1, 1970 (perhaps the release notes should spell this out). Seems a bit odd as the iOS picker wheel on the device is happy to go well before that. I still don't know if it is possible to set an initial value but it doesn't matter as the picker as implememted has limitiations and the app will need to be reworked without the picker.

Thanks,
John

You could add votes to http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4941 enhancement request.

I guess maybe now it is demonstrably an issue on iOS people may be more interested than just Windows users
