DateTime.setLabel() issue and a related (but general) setLabel() question
Hey Guys, I'm building my first Wicket app and, so far, am really loving Wicket! I've built my first form and am stumped on a issue with the DateTime component. I call setLabel() on all the fields in my form and all the labels I provide appear in the validation error messages except one, the DateTime field. Here's the code HTML: tr tdMy Date:/td tdspan wicket:id=myDate/span/td /tr JAVA: form.add(new DateField(myDate).setLabel(new Model(My Date)); The problem is that the validation error message refers to the field as date and not My Date. Looking at the source, DateTime.java, I can see why. It appears the setLabel() is being applied to the FormComponentPanel, which DateTime extends and not the 'private final DateTextField dateField' within DateTime. I don't see a way to get at the private dateField to setLabel() on it. How should this be done? And a related setLabel() question Looking at my example code above, you can see that the label My Date is being maintained in both the HTML and the Java. It would be nice if I could just specify it in the Java and have Wicket apply it in the HTML. For example... HTML: tr tdspan wicket:id=myDate.label[wicket puts label here - with colon?]/span/td tdspan wicket:id=myDate/span/td /tr Is this possible now? Or is it a reasonable feature idea? Thanks! Phil

you can override newDateTextField(..) and call .setLabel() directly on the DateTextField in there.

shouldnt DateField forward its label to the internal field? -igor On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 2:32 PM, Gerolf Seitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: you can override newDateTextField(..) and call .setLabel() directly on the DateTextField in there.

Re: DateTime.setLabel() issue and a related (but general) setLabel() question
Igor, That's what I was thinking to suggest too, but I think that solution breaks down when the component has more than one internal field like DateTimeField does. Gerolf, Thanks for the tip. I think that should work for the dateField. Any ideas on what would one do to set the label on the DateTimeField.hoursField and DateTimeField.minutesField? --Phil igor.vaynberg wrote: shouldnt DateField forward its label to the internal field? -igor On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 2:32 PM, Gerolf Seitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: you can override newDateTextField(..) and call .setLabel() directly on the DateTextField in there.
