Date Widget

[Gary C.]

Hello

With GDC and FGL 3.21 and a DATEEDIT field, one could double click the image of the control and this populates the field with the current date, or expand the calendar and double click a date.

Our users have noted this behaviour is not present in GBC and FGL 5.01. They now have to open the click to open the calendar, click to select the date they want and then click OK.

It is only a minor point but they are so used to the old method, that they are constantly finding they have not selected an date.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this and maybe has a solution/workaround.

Many thanks

Gary

What value do you use for the DateEdit calendarType presentation style attribute? https://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/#fgl-topics/r_fgl_presentation_styles_dateedit_style_attributes.html#r_fgl_presentation_styles_dateedit_style_attributes__row_calendarType

Hi
Thanks - that has resolved it.

Interestingly, we were not specifying this attribute in our 4st file, so it was defaulting to "modal", but under FGL 3.21 it appears to default to "dropdown".

Anyway, all good now so thanks. It helps a lot with winning the "hearts and minds" battle on our journey to a browser based solution.
