Format
Java Client
Web
Date
Date + Time
The Web interface uses a separate field for the time element.
The Web version of the control is much simpler and only allows selection of a date.
Using the Java Client Calendar tool is easy. Use the controls to select the month and year and then double click the date. For the date/time version, there is also a handy check mark icon which you can click.
There are three icons to assist you:
C - Clear - will clear the date in the date field
x - Cancel - close the Calendar tool, making no changes
* - Today - set today's date
The following keyboard controls can be used:
<Pg Dn> will increment the month
<Pg Up> will decrement the month
<Up Arrow> will decrement by a week
<Down Arrow> will increment by a week
<Left Arrow> will decrement by a day
<Right Arrow> will increment by a day
<Enter> will close the Calendar tool, saving the date/time if the tool was opened from a field.
<Esc> will cancel the and close the tool.
Which form appears depends on the data type of the field being entered. The menu link and most date fields are . The time portion will appear if the data type is set to .
