enabling a button according to time

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a requirement of enabling a button according to system time ie from 9:00 am to 10:00 am I need to have the button functionality disabled for particular days. Is this type of functionality possible if so can anyone help me in how I can go about with it.

Thank you

Hello Preet,

you can use the following code :-

this particular piece of code will enable the button for monday to friday and morning 9 am to evening 5 pm.

you need to write this code in wddoinit of your view and also bind the enable property of your button to one boolean attribute in context. for example here i have bound it to btnpro.

java.util.Calendar cl = Calendar.getInstance();  // get the current time and date
	  
	 int day = cl.get(cl.DAY_OF_WEEK);
	 int hour = cl.get(cl.HOUR_OF_DAY);
	 if((day >=  1 || day <= 5 )&&((hour >= 9 && hour <= 17)))
	 {

		 wdContext.currentContextElement().setBtnpro(true);
	 }
	 
	 else
	 {
		 wdContext.currentContextElement().setBtnpro(false);
	 }

Thanks

Hi,

Adding to sarbjeet point we need to bind the button's enabled property to a context variable of type boolean and we need to modify these context variable in the wddoModify view as the above code.

Hi Sarabjeet,

Thanks for your answer. It is working fine. But just wanted to correct one thing the days it considers from sunday ie sunday=1, monday=2, tuesday=3...friday=6.

Thank you

Hi Preet,

Yes, this will be possible but you need to play with calander, date methods to achive your requierment.

Then once you accomplish your requirement, try to enable/disable button based on the conditions.

Hi,

Try using the following code to get the time:

java.sql.Date dateValue = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
java.sqlTime timeValue = new Time(dateValue.getTime());
int finalValue = 24 - timeValue.getHours();
if(finalValue == 15)
{
	//Set the button enabled property to false;
}
else
{
	//Set the button enabled property to true;
}

Hope this helps you.
