 Tomasz, 
  
I agree with Herman that the built-in params are not adequate for systems work without a lot of enhancements.  Herman took the on chart button approach, I developed the Flexible Parameters  system which means I can use all the built-in parameter functionality like the pop-up calendar.  However, in indicator mode, the pop-up calendar does not stay up long enough to select a date if the chart is actively updating.  It goes away at every new quote update.  I am not sure if this is an artifact of my Mac/Parallels system, or if it that way for everyone.   
  
Can anyone with and without virtualization confirm or shed some light on this? 
  
Best regards, 
Dennis

Thanks Tomasz, I am familiar with the ParamDate(), 
  
The Param window was designed for Indicators that just have a few parameters to control. For system control, where we have a dozen or more sections and perhaps a hundred parameters it is very awkward to use. For system control I prefer to use a custom designed button layout.

 I am not exactly sure why you would prefer to code calendar from the scratch when you can use ParamDate() instead 
- ready to use, windows-compliant popup calendar.
