Hi,

Create a calculated attribute of type date and bind this to the first datefield,

When ever their is a change, the getter method is called with a param "value". This will give you the new value, assign this to the other attribute.

Hi,

Create an attribute lets say Date1 of type date make it calculated, to do this from the properties of the attribute

set the property calculated to true

set the property readOnly to false.

create another attribute Date2 of type date.

when you make an attribute calculated you will see the set/get methods generated for that attribute , in our case

public void setDate1(IPrivateTestCompView.IContextElement element, java.lang.String value)
  {
    //@@begin setDate1

     // assign the value entered by the user to the second date field

  wdContext.currentContextElement().setDate2(value);
    //@@end
  }

bind both attributes Date1 and Date2 to respective UI elements

Hi Sumit,

Should the second context date2 be calculated attribute?

I have followd the same steps.

Step : create two input field.

Step 2 : create 2 context attributtes toDate and endDate.

Step 3 : the property calculated of toDate is set to true.

Step 4 : in the implementation method of setToDate(Element,value){

/ wrote the same code

}

Step 5: Bind the context attributes to respective UI elements.

Could any one send any example document to ritushree.saha@in.ibm.com.

Hi,

Bind the two input fields with the same context attribute ex.myDate.

Hi,

Assigning input fields to the same context dosn't work.

Hi,

I think using onEnter event handler is the only way to achieve this.

Of course you can bind different input fields to the same context attribute. The fields will be in synch after any server round-trip. That means if you use a date picker to populate one field you need to trigger some action (e.g. the onEnter action) to sync both field contents.

Hi,

In the onEnter action handler,get the selected date and assign the date to the Inputfield, which you want to populate with the same date.
