DATE_SELECTED event of CL_GUI_CALENDAR not working

[Former Member]

Hey folks,

I have created a several "view" classes to encapsulate all object oriented stuff related to my Dynpros.

In one of them I create a CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER and a CL_GUI_CALENDAR inside of it.

Although I have followed all the guides and docs I have found on the web, I can't seem to get the event triggering working.

The view class looks as follows:

CLASS zcl_test_view_main DEFINITION
  PUBLIC
  FINAL
  CREATE PUBLIC.

  PUBLIC SECTION.

    METHODS constructor.

    METHODS on_date_selected FOR EVENT date_selected OF cl_gui_calendar
      IMPORTING date_begin
                date_end.
  PROTECTED SECTION.
  PRIVATE SECTION.

    DATA o_calendar           TYPE REF TO cl_gui_calendar.
    DATA o_calendar_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container.
ENDCLASS.

CLASS zcl_test_view_main IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD constructor.
    IF me->o_calendar_container IS INITIAL.
      CREATE OBJECT me->o_calendar_container
        EXPORTING
          container_name = 'C_CALENDAR'.
    ENDIF.
    IF me->o_calendar_from IS INITIAL.

      DATA style    TYPE i.
      DATA events   TYPE cntl_simple_events.
      DATA event    LIKE LINE OF ievents.

      event-appl_event = 'X'.
      event-eventid = cl_gui_calendar=>m_id_date_selected.
      APPEND event TO events.

      style = cnca_sel_month.
      CREATE OBJECT me->o_calendar
        EXPORTING
          parent          = me->o_calendar_container
          selection_style = style
          view_style      = cnca_style_dtpicker
          dtpicker_format = 'yyy / MMMM'.

      me->o_calendar->set_registered_events( events = events ).
      SET HANDLER me->on_date_selected FOR me->o_calendar.
    ENDIF.
  ENDMETHOD.

  METHOD on_date_selected.
    MESSAGE 'TEST' TYPE 'I'.
    MESSAGE date_begin TYPE 'I'.
    MESSAGE date_end TYPE 'I'.
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

The month picker is being displayed correctly but the event just does not fire once i change the date. I have already changed the appl_event property but nothing changed.

I hope someone can find the mistake.

Thanks in advance!

It's me again,

just to let you know: I found out the problem is caused by the

view_style      = cnca_style_dtpicker

I just don't know, whether this is a known issue, if I am doing something wrong or if there is a workaround. The date is not even being set (no value when I try to access it using get_selection in my PAI).

Please help me, I'm going crazy!

Thanks, David
