The following table describes how the mode changes the DisplayDate.

DisplayMode	Action
Month	DisplayDate changes when the user navigates to a different month.
Year	The month of DisplayDate changes when the user clicks or navigates to a different month.
Decade	The year of DisplayDate changes when the user clicks or navigates to another year.

DisplayDate is ignored if its value is outside of the range of dates that is specified by DisplayDateStart and DisplayDateEnd properties.
