Sorry for the delay; I know that a fix has already been posted. But
I'm running this with the dDateTextBox.py from before the fix, and I'm
not seeing this behavior. When I changed the null value using the
calendar, it correctly displays and saves the value specified in the
calendar, not the current date. I put debug statements into
flushValue(), and verified that it was correctly called with the
correct value when I either tabbed away from the field, or even just
pressed Cmd-S to save - activeControlValid() correctly called
flushValue().
My guess is that the problem is a Gtk issue with focus, and that
activeControlValid() is not finding the textbox as the active control.
Would you have the time to do the following: revert dDateTextBox.py to
r5194, and then modify dFormMixin.py as follows:
237 def activeControlValid(self):
238 """ Force the control-with-focus to fire its KillFocus code.
239
240 The bizobj will only get its field updated during the control's
241 KillFocus code. This function effectively commands that update to
242 happen before it would have otherwise occurred.
243 """
244 ac = self.ActiveControl
print "ACTIVE CONTROL", ac,
try:
print ac.Value
except:
print
245 if ac is not None and isinstance(ac,
dabo.ui.dDataControlMixinBase.dDataControlMixinBase):
246 if not hasattr(ac, "_oldVal") or (not ac._oldVal) or
(ac._oldVal != ac.Value):
247 return ac.flushValue()
248 return True
Then run the example you gave that saves the wrong value, and when
you save the form, let me know what gets printed out.
