Date TableCellEditor

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a table in which the user should be able to input a date but I can't seem to find the TableCellEditor of the type date. Is it possible or does the user have to input it manually and I need to validate/parse it. Im working with NW2004 sp18.

Much thanks,

Hugo

Hi Hugo,

I tried using dd-MM-yyyy format and it works. It shows 15-08-2007. If I use dd-M-yyyy it works displaying 15-8-2007.

I think its not possible to change the format as per you expect.

Hi Rekha,

The strange thing is that if i just display a context of type date with format dd-MMM-yyyy it does show the date as 15-Aug-2007 and not like 15-088-2007. Seems that the TextView as TableCellEditor has a different implementation then the InputField as a TableCellEditor for the method responsible to rendering the date.

Hi Hugo;

To get a date picker, you can use a input field and the attribute assigned to the inputfield should be of "Date" data type.

Just use InputField as editor. If bound against an attribute of type "date" the input field will display a date picker and validate the entered string as a date automatically.

Aah, ok. Thanks. See that it works like that. 1 Extra question though. I have a custom simple type for dates, with the format set to dd-MMM-yyyy. When i use the datepicker in the table to set a date, it shows it like 15-088-2010 in the table...instead of 15-Aug-2010. Is there a way to fix this or do i have to make a custom simple type for dates in tables?

thanks!

Hi Hugo,

u want dd-MMM-yyyy this format, u will do some implementaions

Date dtTmp1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy ").parse(Date);

Date1 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(dtTmp1);

Calendar Fdt = Calendar.getInstance();

Fdt.setTime(dtTmp1);

now u got a dd-MMM-yyyy this format.

did u clear ur doubt.

Manivannan,

I don't have to do this because I use a simpletype in which i can set the format. The UI element should then display it properly but it seems like the InputField doesn't do this. Maybe someone can confirm this anomaly?
