Component Art's has some pretty interesting controls. One of those controls is *not* the Date Time Picker. Sure, you can do some interesting things with it, like scroll Year/Month/Day etc with the arrow keys or pop open a collapsible calendar to choose the date.

However! What if you just want a control on the page, that can be left empty (so you don't want to prepopulate it) and let the user enter a date in it with the clickie clickie of the calendar popup?

Too bad! This simply amazing Date Picker for the shockingly low price of One BILLION dollars *but only if you act now!) disables itself if it is empty. No tabbing to it. No clicking on it and entering a date.

Talk about lack of user friendly and usability! Though I do admit, the case where you would want the date possibly left empty is not the most used scenario, but after a quick glance around thier forums, I am far from alone...
