(Third party Calendar controls/date pickers will have a text box attached with a button/icon beside it) You can consider the following test cases for a calendar control.
They may be many cases if the text box is editable or not purpose of the date field used etc .
1. Ensure that calendar window is displayed and active when the calendar is invoked by pressing the calendar icon. (Once we faced an issue the calendar window is in minimized state when we invoked the calendar.)
2. Ensure that calendar date is defaulted to system date.
3. Ensure that when a date is selected in the calendar (double click or some other method) the selected date is displayed in the text box.
