Getting selected dates from datepicker? (delphi)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am dabbling with Delphi 7 and trying to get a selected range from the datepicker.

What I have done is declared a variable of type TDateTime and I am now trying to assign the 'start' of a selection as such:

date := datepicker.Selection.Blocks[0].DateBegin;

My understanding of this and Delphi are at best, beginner.
I am certain I am doing this wrong... but I don't know the correct method.

As soon as I try to manipulate 'date' it throws a fit.

I also looked at datepicker.Selection.BlocksCount and moved it to an integer and as soon as I try to do anything with that integer it again, throws a fit.

So, is there something wrong with the installation or am I just doing this wrong?
I assumed at least pulling BlocksCount would show me something.
