Hi,
I've discovered a bug in CXTPCalendarUtils::StripFormat() when running the sample Calendar demo and having a Windows date format containing a text string before the datum, i.e. 'today is 2/10-2010'. Maybe only a local issue as the default Windows date format varies, but nevertheless a bug...(as my localized version of Windows use this type of date format as default).

What happens is nIndex becomes -1 before checking IsFormatChar(strFormat[nIndex]), which causes an exception. A simple problem to correct, but I guess it should be done by Codejock in an upcoming release to propagate the fix to all users.
I've attached the code snippet below, the first while block finds a '-character in the first position (0) and then subtracts (with nIndex--) twice before ending the loop. Then nIndex++ adds one, but nIndex is still negative when entering the last while block;
