Nino, if you assign the DateTextField a model (with a valid date), the datepicker picks the date up and marks the given date as selected.
@ CalendarGroup the most unobtrusive way i could come up with is the following: let the user override DatePicker#configure and do this: widgetProperties.put("pages", 2); problems arise when the user wants to use month/year selection too, as these two options don't work together (which option is more important?) we could do a check for that in DatePicker#renderHead right before the widgetProperties are transformed into a javascript array (line 190 or so) and throw an exception if (enableMonthYearSelection && widgetProperties.contains("pages") && Objects.longValue(widgetProperties.get("pages")) > 1) on the client side, the function Wicket.DateTime.init checks whether the configuration property "pages" is available and greater 1 and instantiates a CalendarGroup instead of a Calendar. another (more dummy save) approach is to provide a class DatePickerGroup which final overrides enableMonthYearSelection with return false and introduces an overridable method getPages which sets the property. i would rather take the first route, as it doesn't expand the api. i also think that's what Eelco would prefer, right? ;) gerolf On 10/1/07, Gerolf Seitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > if you set a model for the textfield, the datepicker should actually pick > it up. > but i'm not sure whether this "picking up" is done in the > Wicket.DateTime.showCalendar method, > which is not called for the renderOnLoad-DatePicker, iirc... > > i will take a look at this later today... > > gerolf > > On 10/1/07, Nino Saturnino Martinez Vazquez Wael < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > Sure there are always more questions:) > > > > I know that the problem with YUI calender, it has no model? what I mean > > are of course the calendar are attached to a tf field, and we use that > > for interaction on the calendar, but it seems that it are one way > > calendar --> textfield.
