How to modify a Date selection

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have two date field, one is StartDate another is EndDate.

I want to calculate the EndDate once the StartDate is Selected.

Currently, I make use of the "Enter" properties which tag to the calendar (Date input properties). This generate a method in the view controller which allow me to place the calculation of the End Date.

When I select the StartDate from the calendar, it does not trigger the event Enter of the input date properties unless I hit the "ENTER" button of the keyboard. In additional, when I set the endDate, it has runtime error say that the value is not modifiable.

How do I make it such that when I select the desire StartDate (from the input calendar), it will trigger the event to calculate a endDate to display.

Hi,

You can give a try by making the attributes bound to the start date and end date as calculated.

Do your enddate calculation inside the setter of the beginDate.

Hi,

To set date you can use this:

Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
c1.set(9999, 0 , 20); // 9999 jan 20

// the date from java.util namespace
Date fixedDte = new Date (cl.getTime());

Hi,

What you can try is create a calculated attribute lets say StartDate of type Date and set the readOnly property false.

Once this is done you will get a method as follows

 public void setStartDate(IPrivateTestCompView.IContextElement element, java.sql.Date value)
  {
    //@@begin setStartDate
	  //accesing the EndDate and assigning startdate+10 as the value
	  	final Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
		calendar.setTime(value);
		calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 10);
	   element.setEndDate(new Date(calendar.getTime().getTime()))
    //@@end
  }
