Dear Friends,

Thanks for making our previous bean the DatePickerBean such a huge success.
On request of Developers around the world I have incorporated the DatePicker Calendar as separate Bean and here you have the CalendarBean.

Its very similar to the DatePicker in Working. The only difference being that the Calendar is now in form of a Panel so that you can easily added it to your applets and frames.


ABOUT THE BEAN
==============

CalendarBean is a useful Java bean that helps you to choose a Date from an OnScreen Calendar.

The CalendarBean is a freely distributable Java Bean.
Please feel free to use it in your JAVA Applications and Applets.


You can easily customise the CalendarBean.


IMPORTANT FEATURES
==================

- A very small jar file ( just 38 kb ) can be easily ported on the net

- This bean is made out of awt classes and does not use swings
	Thus it works well with both, Applets and Applications

You can customize many attributes of this bean by modifying its properties either through an IDE or through the methods provided.

- A range of constructors and set methods which can take 
  java.util.GregorianCalendar/java.sql.Date object as well as int ( yyyy mm dd ) so that you can    easily assign dates to the bean.

- Setting Range: Min and Max Dates

- Customise colors of various parts, to suit your Container

- Add a Calendar  Listener to get notification of Date Changes

- A rich set of Date Formats

- A rich set of other Date related functions and features 

We suggest you to go through the Documentation of this bean in JavaDoc Format.

Included in this zip file are demo files under the DEMOs directory go through them to get the basic idea about to use this bean
