Already exists way (in latest fc10-13)

    SET datetime PROPERTY OF DATABASE TO 'kYMD'

This is analog of API:  db.DateTimeForamt

DataControl -- standard control of RB ?

Damon -- it is ugly. You should remove it I think.
    its main problem -- button PREV.
    when you press PREV they do not cursor.Prev(), but
    cursor.FirstRecord() and MANY time cursor.NextRecord()
    If you have big selection this is very bad.

And it is EASY remove it!

Look on our example Example1x/SingleTable
It have THE SAME functionality. All needed buttons and even more.

Even more: in RB2005 you can create ONCE view - subwindow that have this.
    I think it will take 30 minutes.
    and use it instead of their control.
