Customize Date Listboxes with Calendar Function

• Using the Calendar Control function you can customize special date listboxes (calendar listboxes) for date data fields.
• General information on date listboxes with calendar function and its use, please click here.

• Open the required data area in the Data Areas module.
• For the required date field
  • Select DF behavior = cc.
  • The Do you want to copy in the template for the cc data field? message is displayed.
    • Yes:
      • Three types of templates are offered for selection.
      • Select the required template.
      • The selected template is automatically copied to the Data field configuration field.
      • Parameters can be adapted in the Data field configuration field afterwards, if necessary.
    • No:
      • Open the tree structure of the data field and define the following parameters in the Data field configuration field.

• Each parameter is entered in a new line.
• Structure schema: param_name=value
• For default parameters, the entered value applies to the entire column.
• For non-default parameters, the entered value only applies for the corresponding record.
  • If both non-default and default parameters are entered, the non-default parameters overwrite the default parameters.
• All customizing settings are saved in a string: "attr1=Wert1;attr2=Wert2;..."
• If you use variables for the values and add or subtract certain day figures, you have to make sure that before and after operations no white spaces are entered.
  • E.g. the entry "@D123 + 10" is interpreted as "@D123" since the entry is followed by a whitespace in the first case.
• DI/DF Python IDs cannot be combined with other values.
  • E.g. "end_date=requested_end+10" is not supported while "end_date=requested_end" is supported.

def_start_date = 01.01.1970
def_end_date = 31.12.2099
calendar= @G150

Set input only via listbox

• As in the case of regular listboxes, when embedding date listboxes in a module, the customizer can use the Input only via listbox parameter to define for date listboxes that only data from the listbox can be taken.
