What are the Lessons Learned for Controls Conversion from One Type to Another?

Answer

In case of controls conversion from one type to another, such as converting a Date Picker to a Label, extra attention needs to be paid to the scripts created on these controls.

Certain Date Picker functions (such as DateDiff()) do not work with other types of controls and cause errors.

The one big lesson to learn from the experience is to not change types of controls.

It is better to use two and make them visible or not.

Each control has specific attributes tied to it and when this is changed at run-time unexpected behavior can occur.
