We're all familiar with the Microsoft Date Picker ActiveX control; I have to imagine that everyone here has, at one point or another, used or dealt with it. Well, it has a really great,ummm, "feature", that when you when drop said control onto a dialog, the Date value is automatically set to "Today's Date". For instance, let's say you drop that control onto a dialog on 07/01/2003, the control sets it's date to 07/01/2003; and it apparently stays set to that "starting" date from that point forward. Now, let's say that today is, oh I don't know, a LEAP YEAR. And let's say you have a dialog where someone has attempted to init the control's date via the Date Picker control's Month, Day and Year methods ... and they get set in that order ... So we set the Month = 02 we set the Day = 29 *BLAM!* OH! I'm sorry, that's right, 2003 wasn't a LEAP YEAR! And since the control does it's Leap Year calculation off the currently set year, which is 2003 in this case, it FAILS; and you get a cute little error, or you crash and burn, but regardless of what happens, you get PHONE CALLS asking "WHY". This is FUN!
