widget/datetime


datetime :: A visual widget for displaying and editing a date/time type value.

Metadata:
type:widget/datetime
visual: yes
container: no
form element: yes


Overview:

The datetime widget displays a calendar and clock. Input is done by typing into the bar or by selecting a date in display pane. When the form goes into query mode two panes will appear, one for the start and one for the end time. Note that the osml format for searching for dates is dd Mon yyyy, whereas the format dates are displayed in the widget is Mon dd, yyyy.


Usage:

This widget can be placed within any visual widget.


Properties:

PropertyTypeDescription
x integer x-coordinate of the upper left corner of the bar.
y integer y-coordinate of the upper left corner of the bar.
width integer width, in pixels, of the bar.
height integer height, in pixels, of the bar.
form string name of a form object that is a parent of the datetime widget (not required)
fieldname string not used currently to my knowledge.
sql string used to set the initial date by a query
initialdate string used to set the initialdate by a string
bgcolor string the background color of the bar and pane. (named or numeric)
fgcolor string the foreground color of the bar and pane. (named or numeric)
search_by_range yes/no Default "yes". Specifies that when the datetime widget is in a form that is in search (QBF) mode, the datetime should display both a "start" and an "end" calendar so the user can search for records/objects matching a range of dates.
date_only yes/no Default "no". If set to "yes" indicates that the datetime widget should only allow select and display a date, not a date and time. It may be useful to set default_time when using this option.
default_time string When the user sets the date without selecting a time value (or if date_only is set), use this time as the "default" time. This can be set to "00:00:00" or "23:59:59", for example, to specify a time at the start or end of a day.


Events:

EventDescription
Click This event occurs when the user clicks the widget. No parameters are available from this event.
MouseUp This event occurs when the user releases the mouse button on the widget.
MouseDown This event occurs when the user presses the mouse button on the widget. This differs from the 'Click' event in that the user must actually press and release the mouse button on the widget for a Click event to fire, whereas simply pressing the mouse button down will cause the MouseDown event to fire.
MouseOver This event occurs when the user first moves the mouse pointer over the widget. It will not occur again until the user moves the mouse off of the widget and then back over it again.
MouseOut This event occurs when the user moves the mouse pointer off of the widget.
MouseMove This event occurs when the user moves the mouse pointer while it is over the widget. The event will repeatedly fire each time the pointer moves.
DataChange This event occurs when the user has modified the data value of the widget (clicked or unclicked it).
LoseFocus This event occurs when the datetime widget loses keyboard focus (if the user tabs off of it, for instance).
GetFocus This event occurs when the datetime widget receives keyboard focus (if the user tabs on to it or clicks on it, for instance).


Sample Code:

dda "widget/datetime" {
	    x=15;y=15;
	    width=200;
	    height=20;
	    fgcolor="#000000";
	    bgcolor="#cfcfcf";
	    //initialdate="12:34:56 May 3, 2002";
	}
