Calendar control [message #386132]

I need a control to accept dates, and I really hate using a Text control
(with the validation that requires). Does anyone know where I can find
the code for a 'pop-up' calendar control? Or will I have to write my
own? :-{

I've only been working with SWT for about a week (and have almost no
experience in UI development in Java). I'm finding it to be fairly easy
to grasp, but would rather not write a calendar control if I don't have
to. Seems like a common enough need that there would be something available.

TIA,
Dave Derry

The group search found this: http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/159

I tried this widget a while ago but it was - in parts - buggy. I don't
know if anything has happened since, but for a start it's a very handy
widget.

Thanks for that link Peter. I'll give the widget a try. And I've already
bookmarked the site!

Hi Mike,

Yes I would be interested in it. Notice I've corrected the From: info.
I've just started using Mozilla for a newsreader, and didn't have it
fully configured.

Thanks,

Hi Dave,
If you cannot find a plugin, you could always try active X. the link below
has an example...

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/index.html

then look at the activeX suppport in SWT article. The calendar doesn't look
that great but better than writing your own...

Regards
Richard

Hi,

You can download the CalendarWidget at http://micasim.de/warehouse/

It's work in progress (see below), so please don't hesitate to criticise (micasim@gmx.de).

known bugs and missing features

* not localized
* on Windows the setBackground() method of org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control doesn't work.

Regards,
Michael
