[RBG7-L] - Re: PROPERTY SET_FOCUS and Variable Date/Time Picker

[David M. Blocker]

Karen   Right click the control and select the FORMAT tab.  There is no choice for M/D/YYYY but you can type that in and it works great (make sure your date format is MM/DD/YYYY before entering the form)   But this doesn't solve the original question: Why is PROPERTY fDateEnd SET_FOCUS 'True' working?   David   David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 1:43 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: PROPERTY SET_FOCUS and Variable Date/Time Picker This has always bothered me.  You ARE on the date picker, but there is no focus showing anywhere so you don't know where you are.  Only if you type something can you tell that you're in the date picker.  And if you want to type the month for April, you have to type "04" rather than "4" to see something happen.  My client is confused by all this.  Anyone have a good means of showing where you are?  Or am I missing a setting? (This will be in 7.1) Karen   When I tried a snippet of code similar to yours, the focus did indeed go to the date picker.  Although it does not readily show it. If I hit the tab key, focus indeed went to the next field after the date picker indicating that focus was set to it.   However, are you wanting it to automatically open the drop down window?  Focus on the  date picker does not automatically open the calendar.  I do not know of any property setting to open the window, but perhaps there is one somewhere!
