The ASPxDateEdit allows editing the date by using either the drop-down calendar, or manually within the edit box. The ASPxTimeEdit's value (date or time) can be modified within the editor's edit box by using specific spin buttons.

To specify how the editors' values are represented within the edit boxes, the EditFormat property is used. For display and edit purposes, the edited value can be formatted as a date (EditFormat.Date), as a date with time (EditFormat.DateTime) or a custom format can be provided (EditFormat.Custom). If the editor's format is specified as custom, the EditFormatString and DisplayFormatString properties are used to specify the format pattern of the editor's value and its display view format within the edit box (when the editor is not focused).

The UseMaskBehavior check box is useful to enable/disable the masked input within the ASPxDateEdit (the UseMaskBehavior property).
