Problem with Date Navigation

[Former Member]

Hi

I have a inputfield UI which is bound to a context element of type Date.So at runtime a Calendar like control appears in which I can scroll monthwise.

My question is:

1)What control is it ?

2)What should I do to scroll yearwise(with months in it) instead of monthwise eg. while entering Date of birth.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Ananda,

According to my understanding,

1). There is no specific control of that type. While running the application Date type inputfield will get that Calendar like control.

2). I believe, that is not possible as of now.

This is called a "date picker". It is not a stand-alone UI element but a framework-supplied value help for date entry.

If you want more control, you can use the DateNavigator UI element, but this cannot be attached to an input field automatically.

Thanks Armin & Mausam.

If anyone can send me a link of how to make effective use of Date navigator control and link with text box with examples I will use it in near future..

Hi Anand,

The DateNavigator UI element enables users to display and enter dates. Its features include the ability to navigate in a calendar and choose a day, month, year, or range of dates. Primarily, this element should be used to help users to input dates in an appropriate format.
