Autoformat date
etA client would like to have the slashes of a date automatically inserted, so that to type a valid date they could type just numbers.
For example they could type 01011980
After typing 01->01/
After typing 010 -> 01/0
After typing 0101-> 01/01/
etc.
Is there a reusable way to achieve this for all date controls? It would be nice if we could modify pxDateTime, but that's not possible...

Another possibility is to add an "up key" event to run a script after every key stroke; you can do this in the Action List on the property. Your script would analyze the content so far typed, and add the slashes as necessary. This might be closer to what you are looking for.
Rule-Edit-Input will allow you to modify what has been typed and insert the slashes. You can add this to your property definition. I'm not sure how this would mesh with the dateTime control itself -- it might be incompatible.
Certainly you can experiment.
