Hi Friends 🙂

I am using a date component. When i run it just increments by Month when we click Arrow. Is it possible to do these increments by year and months both.

Because if currently if it shows 2008 and i want to put 1990 then i have to click it infinitely to bring it there.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reading. 🙂

Edit:  
I figured that i can create 2 buttons for incrementing and decrementing years. It is simple but Just wondering if there is any direct method.
