Hi,

Try this:

1. Create an Input field in the View under a Transparent Container.

2. Navigate to Dictionaries>Simple Type>right-click "Create new Simple Type"

3. Enter the name and package for the simple type & select the bulit in type as "Date"

4. Switch to "Representation" tab and enter the format as dd.MM.yyyy

5. In the Context Tab, right-click create context attribute

6. Select type as the simple tyoe created in step 3.

7. Bind the Input field's "Vaue" property to the context attribute.

In the wdDoInit() write the following code:

wdContext.currentContextElement().set<contextattributename>(new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

This will load the current date.

Hi,

You can use the following code to get the two days previous date.

import java.util.Calendar;
...
Calendar currCal = Calendar.getInstance();
currCal.add(Calendar.DATE,-2);
Date date = new Date(currCal.getTimeInMillis());// Set this date to your From date field attribute.
...

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Manoj

Hello Vijay,

You can use the Calende class for getting the current date and also to manipulate the dates that is 2 days before or after. There are many methods in the class which will help you to do so. Please refer to java docs of the calender class for the details of the methods.

hi,

you can try either this way even,

long twoDay = 2L * 24L * 60L * 60L * 1000L;

java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();

d.setTime(d.getTime() - twoDay);

It will be helpful.

Hi

Make a simple type and select date as built in type for it and then in the representation tab enter format as dd.MM.yyyy

it will solve the issue
