So?  a TCustomEditButton is only a TEdit with an additional alternative
entry system.
The button+calendar are just helpers to the editor, not the other way
around.

That's where a property like DirectEdit (or whatever you want to call it )
would be handy. You set it to true and the user is forced to use the
button+popup dialog to choose a value.
