I could understand if MonthView doesn't work for you - that (like
MaskedEdit) is included in the image mainly as an example of a wrapping
around an ActiveX control. Unfortunately it isn't actually any use (at
design time, so-called) unless you have an MS development tool installed
that provides you with a license for it. Frankly it is more trouble that it
is worth and I think we might as well just ditch them both.
The Date-time picker is another matter - its a Windows common control, and
ought to work for you on XP (the issue being over the initialisation of the
common controls library, which doesn't work on 2K because we ask it to
include a control class not available on that platform).
