Hi Clarence;

  Yes, PowerServer Mobile at this time does not support the calendar DDDW edit mask feature. You can use ZhoKai's excellent suggestion as one workaround. However, if you have 100's of DWO's that is a lot of column editing work. Also, if your App is used in the Web or native Windows O/S - the spin look & feel may not be the best UI for thos date columns ( DDDW Calendar works OK in PowerServer Web).

  Another alternative is to do a RYO (roll-your-own) version of the Calendar. You can see this approach in the PFC and also STD Frameworks. This allows you to have one DWO that works across all App environments that implements a consistent interface.

 Here is the STD example:

Mobile:

 

The above Look & Feel is the same in Native and Web as well ....

Web:

 

Native:

 

Food for thought

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Hi Clarence,

For Appeon Mobile, please go to PB IDE > [your datawindow] > [date column] >
Properties > Edit to set the Style Type to 'EditMask' and then have the
'Spin Control' option checked, then the calendar will be displayed when you
click the spin control in the Appeon Mobile.

For Appeon web, please go to PB IDE > [your datawindow] > [date column] >
Properties > Edit to set the Style Type to 'EditMask' and then have the
'Drop-down Calendar' option checked, then the calendar will be displayed
when you click the spin control in the Appeon Web.

Regards,
ZhaoKai

It worked very nice. Thank you very much. Like I say all the time; you guys are the best.



But in the same token I was wondering if Appeon Eng. are going to change this behavior, so it will be the same for mobile and Web.



Regards,



Clarence
