Hello,

I am using a DateField widget with a svn checkout from July 29th 2009:

         var dateField = new qx.ui.form.DateField();
         var format = new qx.util.format.DateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
         dateField.setDateFormat(format);

So far, so good. Then when trying to set the textfield:

1) When using

         dateField.setValue(new Date());  // as in the demobrowser

     I get a console warning of

        The method 'qx.ui.form.DateField:setDate' of class
        'qx.ui.form.DateField' is deprecated: Please use the setValue
        instead.

2) When using

         dateField.setValue(new Date());  // as suggested by the warning

    I get a console warning of

        The method 'undefined:constructor' of class 'qx.ui.form.DateField'
         is deprecated: Value property is used for setting dates now.

In both cases the textfield is set properly.

3) Neither setDate('30.07.2009') nor setValue('30.07.2009') set the
    textfield of the DateField widget. Both give the corresponding warning
    messages of 1) and 2).

So, what is the right way to set the DateField widget and also to retrieve
the date?

Thanks,
Fritz

P.S.: I have the impression that the documentation in the API viewer is not
       very everywhere in sync with the deprecation messages. Another
       examples is changeSelected versus changeSelection event handling.
