Re: [Wicket-user] Custom date component...
I noticed that this component uses current date as default value. Is it possible to modify it so if one of the fields is not selected the component fails validation?Thank you,Alex On 9/8/06, Andrew Lombardi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Sep 7, 2006, at 3:09 PM, Erik Brakkee wrote: Andrew Lombardi wrote: Erik, I had similar issues with the DatePicker for various reasons.

Re: [Wicket-user] Custom date component...
Erik,I had similar issues with the DatePicker for various reasons. After some help from Nick and Igor I built a 3 dropdown component for choosing date similar to what you describe below. Check out my blog entry for details on it:http://www.mysticcoders.com/blog/2006/08/21/datechooser-component-for-wicket/basically you want to create a DateModel which holds a Date object passed in to your component and override getObject to return the appropriate value based on the field you want, MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, YEAR.override setObject to set each field in a Calendar object so that when the form submits, all fields in a Calendar are set one-by-one, and can return a valid date. The Model's are nice because all you have to do is pass in a Date, and the rest is done.If you search in the feature enhancements on wicket's sf.net page, I believe I submitted the code there.validation would probably be easiest just to use some client-side _javascript_.Cheers,andrewOn Sep 7, 2006, at 2:29 AM, Erik Brakkee wrote:Hi,I have tried to use the DatePicker component but somehow it doesn'treally work on Firefox 1.5 on linux.

The only place I looked was in wicket-extensions. It doens't appear on the main wicket site. Where can I find that? Of course, I am always willing to help if I can but I am not much of a _javascript_ hacker so I'm not sure if I can help with the current DataPicker in wicket-extensions. I don't have any problems with the datepicker in FF15 by the way. What exactly do you see? Just checked again, and it appears I am using an ancient Firefox version 1.0.8. Also, it appears to work now. Yesterday I got really strange behavior. Ok, this is a non-issue, except then for the issue of using a Panel as a FormComponent. I think a FormPanel would be a valuable addition to wicket.
