Setting the date in the date picker

[Former Member]

Hi,

In my application, I have a Input field mapped to a value attribute of type date. As a result, I am able to get a date picker/ editor associated with that Input field.

I am making an RFC call to fetch the date from the backend, and the date appears in the corresponding field. Assuming that the date that comes from the backend is 1/1/2006, now, When I click the date picker icon, it shows the month January of the year 2006 but the date that is currently available in the field, (1 st January) is not getting highlighted by default. Is there any way to highlight the same, in the date picker?

Hi Bala,

Why can't you use DataNivagator UIElement instead of InputField ?

Then you can make use of those services

Hi Anil,

Thanks for the link to an article. The article speaks about <b>DateNavigatorMarking</b> , but I need a help related to the <b>Input Field</b> UI, and date setting features in it as I have set the context attribute type of the Input field to "date". Please suggest a suitable solution.
