In Delphi VCL, TDatePicker, how do you force the combobox to open?

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, largely (but not exclusively) intended to teach students structured programming and data structuring. Pasca was implemented on a wide range of architectures, from early PCs to mainframes. Pascal derivatives include OOP-based Object Pascal (used in Delphi and Lazarus/Free Pascal). Pascal is a purely procedural language and includes control statements with reserved words, but has many data structuring facilities and other abstractions like type definitions, records, pointers, enumerations, and sets.
