It looks like I can set the MinDate and MaxDate of UltraDateTimeEditor. It will validate the value being assigned to it programmatically using the range; however, the editor and the dropdown are still acting using the default behavior.
I set the MinDate to 1/1/1950 and MaxDate to 12/31/2049. The control still only lets me type 12/31/29 and the dropdown only goes up to 12/31/2029. Is this expected?
Version 11.2.
EDIT: Somehow the MaskInput of mm/dd/yy is affecting the behavior. Without the MaskInput, the control behaves as expected.
This is probably because you are using a Mask with a 2-digit year. When you use 2 digits, some versions of Windows use 30 as the cut off year. So any year under 30 is considered to be 2029, but anything over 30 is considered to be 1930. The solution is to use a 4-digit year and thus remove any ambiguity.
I'm using a mask with only two digits. I'm just not so sure why the control is not respecting the MinDate and MaxDate. It validates the control using the range, but the textbox and the dropdown will still only display up to 2029.
Something is not right, I get an Exception when I have the MaxDate set, and I press Page Down on Dec. 2029 dropdown view.
