Hi Wim, Thanks for tips! I had found the xml descriptor but I was stuck at the calling the external editor. I couldn't find any related parts in the xml file.
inside there, I think this is the most related section but still can't get.sorry, really hope for your help in this part : <parameters> <parameter name="layout.has">false</parameter> <parameter name="SWT.runAsyncMessages">true</parameter> <!-- selection listener --> <parameter name="double-click.listener">selection/widgetSelected</parameter> <!-- untyped events --> <parameter name="RCP.untyped.events: org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.cdatetime.CDateTime"><![CDATA[ Selection ]]></parameter> </parameters> or...is it when setSelection called without any paramter, it will automatically open the date chooser ? but how bout the icon beside ?
