increasing or decreasing one date/time part (using up-down keys or
mouse wheel), it can increase or decrease by one another date/time
part. For example, when date is 31.08.2013. and user increases the
day, the day becomes 1 and month increases by one and becomes 9, so
the date becomes 01.09.2013. If Cascade were set to False, the month
would not change and the date would become 01.08.2013.</FONT></P>

you can chose which date/time parts will not be shown. Most of the
time you do not need to use this property and you can get the format
you want by using other properties (see <A CLASS="western" HREF="#Kind">Kind</A>,
<A CLASS="western" HREF="#TimeDisplay">TimeDisplay</A>). However, if
you need more control (for example, you might want to let user edit
only days, months and hours), you can additionally hide any date/time
parts with this control. Keep in mind that, with this property, you
cannot show any date/time part which is hidden by another property
(for example, if TimeDisplay is tdHM, the second part is not shown,
regardless of this property).</SPAN></FONT></P>
