Answer 1

This is from Forms on-line help - "Creating a calendar" topic:
To create a calendar:
1 From the Components page of the
STNDRD20.OLB object library, copy or
subclass the Calendar object group.
2 Attach the PL/SQL library CALENDAR.PLL,
which contains the Date_LOV package, to
your module.
3 Create a Key-Listval trigger on the date
item for which you would like to use the
Date List of Values window. Add code to
display the calendar using the Date_LOV
package.
4 If you want the end user to be able to
close the Date List of Values window by
clicking on the window close button in the
title bar, create a form level
When-Window-Closed trigger
The calendar will appear whenever the end user invokes a list of values for the date item. A single calendar can be re-used on many different date items. Simply create a Key-Listval trigger for each item.
I hope this will be a little help for you.
