Currency Calculator

This control is a calculator button that appears next to a currency field. When you click the button, a dialog box appears in which you can specify financial transaction information in foreign currencies. You can specify the country of origin, enter the date on which the transaction occurred, and perform mathematical operations. After computing a value with a calculator control, you can click anywhere outside of the control to save your selections and close the control.
