Thanks for explaining this but after implementing this into my Date and Time picker, I am seeing a problem, If I open a previously saved item that already had the date and time filled in, in the "read-only" view, it is showing the previously inputed date and time that I entered earlier. But when I click the edit button and go into "edit" view, it changes the date and time to the current date and time. This doesn't make sense to me since we were only changing the "default" value for this control. I don't understand why it wants to update the values if there is already an entered value. Any ideas?
