Mike: What is the type of the property you are trying to bind to in your Value Object? A DateField selectedDate property can be sent to null and should give you an empty date.
I've extended the DateField making my own DateField Component -> EditDateField and I always use that whenever I use Date. My Component looks like this: <mx:DateField xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; focusOut="checkFilterDate();" editable="true"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ *import* com.myDomain.util.DateValidate; *public* *var* defaultDate:Date; *private* *function* checkFilterDate():*void * { *if* (*this*.text.length == 0) { *this*.selectedDate = *null*; } *else* *if* (!DateValidate.validate(*this*.text)) { *this*.selectedDate = defaultDate; } *else * { *this*.selectedDate = DateValidate.format(*this*.text); } } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:DateField> Where my DateValidate class is some custom functions I've written that allow formats like mmddyy or mmddyyyy to be input and automatically cast to a Date type. Hope this helps Sam On 19 Mar 2007 12:06:30 -0700, Mike Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello All, What is the proper way to bind Data to a DateField? I ask this, because I get an error when I bind a Variable contained within a ValueObject (which contains a Null Value), to a DateField Control. Is it safe to say, that this DateField doesn't act like a TextField? Do I require a regular Variable cast as a "Date" to serve as a "go-between", when transferring the ValueObject data to the DateField? I hope I am properly asking this question :) Thanks in advance for your help, Mike
