CenturyBreak Property, SftMaskCalendar Object

Defines the year where a higher 2-digit year indicates the previous century.

Syntax

Get

Put

object

A SftMaskCalendar object.

Year

Defines the year where a higher 2-digit year indicates the previous century. If -1 is specified, the current year plus 30 is considered the break value.

Comments

The CenturyBreak property defines the year where a higher 2-digit year indicates the previous century.

This value is used when a date without century is entered (i.e., a two digit year). The correct century is determined based on the CenturyBreak property. Any two digit year greater or equal to the CenturyBreak value is assumed to be in the prior century.
