Description

DateOrder is a TDateOrder property which indicates the order of the Year, Month, and Day parts of the Date value. Values in the enumeration include:

doNone
No order is specified. The value in DateFormat is used instead. EditMask is set to ''.
doMDY
Displays values in Month, Day, Year order and uses the format specification 'mm/dd/yyyy'. EditMask is set to '99/99/9999;1;_'.
doDMY
Displays values in Day, Month, Year order and uses the format specification 'dd/mm/yyyy'. EditMask is set to '99/99/9999;1;_'.
doYMD
Displays values in Year, Month, Day order and uses the format specification 'yyyy/mm/dd'. EditMask is set to '9999/99/99;1;_'.

Setting a new value for the property causes SetDateMask to be called to update the EditMask for the control.

DateOrder is also used when the value in Date is converted to a String type and stored in the Text property.

Use DateFormat for the format specification used when DateOrder is doNone.
