<p>
<var>OnAsync</var> is a method used apply the value in the Filter property to 
the sorted Items for the control. It implements the TDataEvent routine passed 
as an argument to the Application.QueueAsyncCall method.
</p>
<p>
OnAsync ensures that the internal flag for pending filter updates is handled 
by calling the private ApplyFilter method to immediately apply the pending 
updates. Use the OnFilterItemEx or OnFilterItem (deprecated) event handlers to 
perform actions needed to implement the filter.

OnAsync is executed (via Application.QueueAsyncCall) when the value in 
IdleConnected is changed to <b>True</b>. This occurs when InvalidateFilter or 
ForceFilter are called.

The value in IdleConnected is reset to <b>False</b> when the filter has been 
applied to the items in the control. OnAsync signals the OnAfterFilter event

SortAndFilter and ApplyFilterCore methods (in descendent classes) are called

<p>
Changing the value for the property causes the value in the Text property

Changing the value for the property causes the handler routine to be queued or

the private ApplyFilter method. An explicit default value is not assigned for 
the property, but the default value for the Boolean type is <b>False</b>.

Changing the value for the property causes the InvalidateFilter method to be

<element name="TDateEdit">
<short>
Implements a control with an edit box for a date value and an attached speed

</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>TDateEdit</var> is a <var>TCustomEditButton</var> descendant which 
implements a grouped edit control for entering a date value. The control uses 
an <var>Edit</var> and a <var>Button</var>, as defined in the ancestor class, 
and displays a pop-up Calendar dialog to select a date value when the Button 
is clicked. The selected date is stored in the <var>Date</var> property as a 
<var>TDateTime</var> value.
</p>
<p>
TDateEdit provides additional properties which are used to configure the Edit 
and Button controls and the dialog executed when Button is clicked.
</p>
<p>
TDateEdit has an overridden ButtonClick method which displays the pop-up 
Calendar dialog. This method includes logic to set the minimum and maximum 
date values for the native calendar control on the dialog. For the Windows 
platform, the value limits are September 14, 1752 and December 31, 9999. This 
functionality is not supported for all platforms. Specifically, GTK2 and GTK3 
do not support the minimum and maximum date values on their native calendar 
controls.

<short>

<descr>
<p>
<var>ButtonClick</var> is an overridden method in <var>TDateEdit</var>. It 
implements the virtual method defined in the ancestor class, and is called 
when the Button for the grouped edit control is clicked.
</p>
<p>
ButtonClick creates, displays, and executes a pop-up calendar dialog used to 
get a TDateTime value. The value in the Date property is passed as the 
initial date displayed on the dialog form. If Date contains the NullDate 
value, the current system date is used.
</p>
<p>
Values in the MinDate and MaxDate properties are used to validate and to 
limit the range of dates displayed on the pop-up calendar. When the 
properties contain non-zero values that are at least one day apart, they are 
used as the lower and upper limits for the value in Date. Otherwise, the 
MinDateTime and MaxDateTime RTL constants are used as the limits for the date 
value.
</p>
<p>
The ShowCalendarPopup routine is called to display and execute the dialog 
form. Set values in CalendarDisplaySettings and DefaultToday to control the 
appearance and behavior for the calendar on the dialog.
</p>
<remark>
For the Windows platform, additional validation is performed to ensure that 
Date is within the range of values allowed for the native calendar control. 
The minimum date value is "1752-09-14" (September 14, 1752) for the start of 
the Gregorian calendar. The maximum date value is "9999-12-31" (December 31, 
9999). This is done to prevent an exception when an invalid value is passed 
to the native calendar control. When DefaultToday is enabled, Date defaults 
to the current system date for a value outside this range. When not enabled, 
the MinDate and MaxDate values are used to range limit the date.
</remark>
<p>
Assign a routine to the OnAcceptDate event handler to perform actions needed 
when a new date value is selected using the dialog. Enable FocusOnButtonClick 
to focus and optionally auto-select the value in the edit control after the 
dialog has been closed.

<short>
Applies an EditMask based on the DateOrder for the control.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>SetDateMask</var> is a method used to update the EditMask for the 
control. It also updates the internal member where a 
FormatDateTime-compatible format string is stored. The mask value is 
determined by the DateOrder property, and uses the following TDateOrder and 
edit mask values:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>doNone</dt>
<dd>
EditMask is set to an empty string (''). The date format string is also an 
empty string.
</dd>
<dt>doDMY, doMDY</dt>
<dd>
EditMask is set to '99/99/9999;1;_'. The date format string is set to 
'mm/dd/yyyy' (for doMDY) or 'dd/mm/yyyy' (for doDMY).
</dd>
<dt>doYMD</dt>
<dd>
EditMask is set to '9999/99/99;1;_'. The date format string is set to 
'yyyy/mm/dd'.
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
SetDateMask retrieves and re-applies the current value in Date after the 
EditMask has been changed. This forces the display value in Text to be 
updated.
</p>
<p>
SetDateMask is called when a new value is assigned to the DateOrder property.

<element name="TDateEdit.Loaded">
<short>
Performs actions needed when the component has finished loading in the LCL

</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>Loaded</var> is an overridden method in <var>TDateEdit</var>. The 
overridden method ensures that the value in Date is re-applied at run-time. 
</p>
<p>
Date defaults to the current system date when Value is a null date and 
DefaultToday is <b>True</b>. The assignment causes Date to be range-limited 
to the minimum and maximum values in MinDate and MaxDate (when assigned), or 
the limits for the Date type. Date is not updated at design-time.
</p>
<p>
The string representation for the date value is also applied to the Text 
property. The value in DateOrder determines the date format used for the text 
value.
</p>
<p>
Loaded calls the the inherited method prior to exit to update the spacing and 
color for the control.
</p>
</descr>
<version>
Modified in version 2.2.4 (e7e585f1) to call the inherited Loaded method on 
exit instead of on entry. This allows the OnChange handler to be signalled 
once after both the Date member and Text have been updated.

<element name="TDateEdit.Date">
<short>Contains the TDateTime value for the control.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>Date</var> is a <var>TDateTime</var> property with the date value for 
the control. The Time component in the value is ignored in TDateEdit. Date is 
a public property, so it is not available in the Object Inspector at 
design-time. But its value can be assigned in program code at run-time.
</p>
<p>
Date provides the value displayed and updated using the Edit for the control 
when DirectInput is enabled. It is updated when the Button for the control is 
clicked and a new value is selected from the calendar dialog.
</p>
<p>
Setting a new value for the property causes the new date to be validated. An 
empty date is represented using the NullDate value. When the property value 
is NullDate and DefaultToday is enabled, the current system date is used.
</p>
<p>
MinDate and MaxDate are used (when assigned) to ensure that the new property 
value is within the specified range of dates. They are not used to limit the 
value in Date if either of the properties contain NullDate, or are not at 
least one day apart. When not used, the MinDateTime and MaxDateTime RTL 
constants are used as the lower and upper limits for the date value.
</p>
<p>
The value in Text is updated when the new value is stored in the Date 
property.
</p>
<p>
Use DateOrder to control the order of the date components displayed on the 
control and in the Text property. Use DateFormat to specify the 
FormatDateTime-compatible formatting string used when DateOrder is set to 
doNone. The default format settings for the locale are used to generate the 
value in Text when both DateOrder and DateFormat are not used.

OnAcceptDate is signalled (when assigned) when the pop-up calendar dialog is

<p>
The default value for the property is an empty date/time value (0.0), and

Date. Setting a new value for the property causes the date value to be 
validated. It must be in the range of valid TDateTime values defined in the 
RTL MinDateTime and MaxDateTime constants. An EInvalidDate exception is 
raised if the new value is outside the allowed range.
</p>
<p>
The value in Date is adjusted (when needed) if its value is smaller than the 
new value for the MinDate property. No actions are needed if MinDate and 
MaxDate have not been assigned, or are not at least one day apart.
