Re: [flexcoders] How to DataBind to DateField when Null Values come into play??
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 mmdd to be input and automatically cast to a Date
type.
Hope this helps

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

Perhaps a ternary conditional?
{(myDateProperty) ? myDateProperty : someDefaultDate}
