Captured from the sgcEditors demos that ship with the trial.

Month calendar in range mode with a 14 day limit, weekends and holidays struck through and ISO week numbers

The controls

A calendar that follows real booking rules.

SelectionMode picks one date or a range of days, and MaxRangeDays caps how long the range may be.
Days outside MinDate and MaxDate, DisabledDates, DisabledWeekDays and any day OnIsDateDisabled refuses are struck through and cannot be picked.
The same calendar drives the drop down of the date pickers, so the rules apply wherever a date is chosen.

Month calendar under keyboard focus: a range of days selected, disabled days struck through and a focus ring on the current day

Typing and keyboard

Real typing, not just clicking.

Every text field is a real edit of the platform, so IME composition, the clipboard, undo, the context menu and screen readers all work.
Lenient parsing: slashes, hyphens, dots, colons, commas or spaces separate the fields, and the month and day names of the locale are understood.
No function needs a mouse: F4 or Alt+Down opens every drop down, and the calendar arrows skip disabled days.

Four month calendars on one form in English, German, Spanish and French, each with its own week start and day names

Language

Each control speaks the user's language.

Each control has its own FormatSettings, so two controls on one form can even use two locales.
FirstDayOfWeek and WeekNumbering follow the locale or your rule, with ISO 8601 week numbers by default.
Right to left for Arabic and Hebrew: buttons move to the other side, and sliders, ratings and the calendar run from the right.

Data aware

Bind the editors straight to your datasets.

Ten data aware controls bind to a field through DataSource and DataField: date picker, time picker, spin edit, rating, range slider, button edit, masked edit, currency edit, memo and lookup edit.
The range slider binds its second thumb through EndDataField, and null fields show empty when AllowEmpty is on.
TsgcEditorFieldLink uses only the DB unit, so the FireMonkey versions need no LiveBindings. In WPF the value properties bind two way.

More from sgcEditors.

Sharp scaling, two thumb ranges, chips and the full Gallery form, straight from the demos.

The same month calendar rendered at 100 percent and at 200 percent — Laid out in logical pixels and drawn at the scale of each monitor, with nothing to do in your code.

Range slider with two thumbs, ticks and labels — `RangeMode` adds a second thumb; `Step` snaps the values and `MinRange` keeps a minimum gap.

Token edit with Delphi and VCL chips and an Add a tag hint — The token edit turns typed or pasted text into chips, and `OnValidateToken` checks each one.

The Gallery demo with all fifteen editors on one form, light theme — The Gallery demo: all fifteen editors on one form with a theme switch, a read only switch and PNG export.

A feedback form in a few lines.

A rating, a range slider and a token edit, all reporting through OnChange. The same API in Delphi, C++ Builder and C#.
