Locator Date Picker c8/nt5.39

[hilton]

Hi Folks,

The locator that appears for DATE fields is very small (about 2 characters width).  Furthermore, when choosing a date from the date picker, the date is never transferred to the locator field.  If I type the date into the small locator field, the locator works fine and Positions the browse to the correct date.

This was a problem with nt5.38 as well.  I simply mention it so it can be fixed (unless I am doing something wrong of course).

Bye,
Hilton

Hi Hilton,

>>The locator that appears for DATE fields is very small (about 2 characters width).

I'm not seeing that at all - sorry. Can you maybe try an example? then length used to be really big (like 30 chars) but now it should be about 15 chars. Do you have any CSS setting the size maybe?

>> Furthermore, when choosing a date from the date picker, the date is never transferred to the locator field.  If I type the date into the small locator field, the locator works fine and Positions the browse to the correct date.

Correct, it's a positional locator, and positional locators are cleared after they are "applied". This is normal behavior for a positional locator.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the quick reply.

No I do not use any CSS or HTML.  For me the challenge is to use Clarion and your templates etc only without the help of any other tools to create the look and functionality I desire.

Normal date pickers are fine by the way.

As a priority this is not very high, so I will press on with other things and then revisit it again.

Thanks again,
Hilton.
