# Setting the Calendar Drop-down

Learn how to set calendar drop-down in ComponentOne Input for WinForms.

## Content



In previous versions of **Input for WinForms**, the Calendar feature in the **C1DateEdit** control allowed you to set the "Today" and "Clear" buttons by manipulating the **Calendar.UIString** property. In newer versions of the [C1Input.DateEdit control](/componentone/api/win/online-input/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Input.4.8/C1.Win.C1Input.C1DateEdit.html), you can set these buttons by accessing the C1DateEdit properties menu.

To set the "Today" and "Clear" buttons:

1.  Add the **C1DateEdit** control to your form.
2.  Select **C1.DateEdit1** from the Properties menu.
3.  Locate **Calendar** in the left column and expand the **Calendar** property.
4.  Locate **ClearText** in the left column and enter "&Reset" in the right column
5.  Locate **TodayText** in the left column and enter "&Now" in the right column.
6.  Press **F5** to compile and run the project.<br />![calendar-dropdown-form](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/6c2f30e9-4d3a-4f86-b649-ecbef777b3a3/images/setting-calendar-dropdown.png)

Now when you open the C1DateEdit dropdown menu, the "Today" and "Clear" buttons are set.
