Description
Date Picker for Excel by Uniform Software is a native desktop utility designed to replace error-prone manual spreadsheet date entry and deprecated ActiveX/VBA controls. Built as a compiled .NET/WPF client for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows architectures, it embeds a responsive, cursor-tethered calendar overlay directly into Microsoft Excel (versions 2013 through 365) without triggering IT firewall blocks or macro security warnings.
Unlike legacy macro workbooks or modern web task-pane add-ins that hog system memory and screen real estate, Date Picker operates as a lightweight native hook into the Excel Ribbon UI and right-click context menus. It maintains tight grid stability across split views, frozen panes, and varying zoom states.
Key Technical Features:
• Auto-Detection Engine: Scans date fields, values, and column headers across 50+ languages to trigger the pop-up calendar upon cell focus.
• Regional Format Overrides: Bypasses OS locale conflicts (e.g., US MM/DD/YYYY vs EU DD/MM/YYYY) by enforcing strict administrative whitelists and blacklists.
• Multi-Month Grid Navigation: Supports expandable visual grids from 1x1 up to 10x10 multi-month layouts for long-range planning.
• Enterprise Security & Deployment: Distributed via the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Marketplace. Zero reliance on VBA scripts or ActiveX MonthView components.
Includes an unrestricted 7-day (Microsoft Store) or 30-day (Microsoft Marketplace) free trial, followed by a $0.99/month user subscription covering up to 10 concurrent Windows devices per account.
Description
PatternMaker serves as the main application for designing patterns, allowing users to create and subsequently export them into digital files that can be shared online like any other file. This program comes in various versions to accommodate different user needs. MacroGen is the accompanying tool that facilitates the creation of these exported files, referred to as macros. These macros can be tailored with various measurements, enabling users to adjust the patterns for a perfect fit. Execution of these macros requires the PatternMaker software. (Many software applications, such as Microsoft Word and Excel, also support macros in a format suitable for sharing.) Therefore, to utilize a macro, one must have access to PatternMaker. Additionally, Collection Creator takes multiple macros and organizes them into a cohesive collection, which could consist of themed items like a selection of summer dresses. This functionality not only enhances the user experience but also allows for streamlined design processes across various projects.
