Topic: Just curious.

Sorry for the noob question, but What is MyVisualDatabase based on? It looks exactly like RAD Studio? Is it a fork of it?
If that is the case, can anyone point me to a detailed documentation to DateTimePicker and the additional options?
I am encountering what seems to be a bug, when I double click a record in a TableGrid it opens my record in a form but the date is displayed wrong there. It's always an absurd date too, like 12-56-2020 or 10-00-19 or something. Also, clicking save doesn't save the updated record. the date remains the same.
please help.  I have attached screenshots:

Also, what is the DefaultChecked property?

Hello dhekabai

Welcome to MVD world !

MVD (My Visual Database) is based upon Delphi langage (Turbo Pascal)
RAD means Rapid Application Development.
The company embarcadero has developed the best RAD that is (in my humble opinion) which allows to create applications in Delphi, C ++, for Android, all this under the same environment, from which MVD was inspired.

About DateTimePicker and its various options, please have a look on menu Book (or Livre) from first page when you are going to create a project.
You will also have a description about DefaultCheck property

Good luck with MVD, really a good way to create simple or complex projects.

Thank you so much for your response, I understand now.

P.S. could you also look at the problem I've been facing with DateTimePicker? I've attached screenshots in the Original post.

Also, I could not find any documentation for DateTimePicker's DefaultCheck in the PDF ebook hmm

Every time I make a new entry, the field is populated with a weird date like this: imgur .com/C8YUP1V

EDIT: I added this to the script editor, today's date is 29-9-2020, but the dateTimePicker shows either 29-49-2020 or 29-52-2020. This is really frustrating lol

Final Edit: I deleted the DateTimePicker and readded it, and It seems to have been fixed (for now?)
