@Paul_Rodman Okay, so I was curious what it is. I thought something interesting around picture manipulation. Now I made my homework and my research, and I can proudly declare that I won’t steel it from you :-).

I use it to turn all my screens dark red in an astronomy app in order to preserve the user’s night vision. Works beautifully on Mac. Doesn’t work worth anything on Windows, which is sad.

And remains to be seen if it actually does something on Apple Silicon, depends on how they implemented their display cards there.
I expect it will be out late tomorrow (Friday). Problem has been isolated and fix is in the works.
(This is for the DateControl which had issue on Apple Silicon)

Did you fix the “year not set” exception for the DateTime ? This happens if the inital value for year is 0.
i dont remember that bug actually don’t think it is in the bug base at least.
I imagine you only get it on the API2 version ? Since I think the API2 dates not support zero ?
Yes it’s the api2 datetime. On opening the exception happens. Since year seems to be required to be atleast 1970 as i remember
Could be this is the first time you hear it…
How crazy is that the new Date can carry less range of dates than the old ones !
new range…
New rage … 
Hope no one is writing a historically oriented app (maybe for classroom use) with API 2 then!!! Maybe nothing important happened before 1970? 
Seriously, I can’t believe they don’t support dates before 1970… there has to be another explanation!

I just executed this code without issue:
var dt as DateTime
dt = new DateTime( 1820, 1, 1 )
AddToResult dt.ToString
What am I missing?
var dt as DateTime
dt = new DateTime( 0, 0, 0 )
AddToResult dt.ToString
the DateControl inital values are year 0, month 0, day 0
you’ll get this:
DateTime CAN handle dates prior to 1970 but there is limits to this on some platforms (windows?)
I can definitely catch the error to prevent exception i the control. But of course the limits will just follow the DateTime so if its zero for year then it would set it to whatever is minimum.
Minimum appears to be year 1, at least on a Mac.
