Example:

Let’s build and execute the “DatepickerDef” example.  

  • Create a Form definition called “DatepickerDef.”
  • Drag a “BootstrapGrid, Label, Datepicker, and Submit” control onto the canvas and arrange the controls as shown below.

 

  • Double-click the “Datepicker” widget to configure the “Settings” properties. Select a display size from the drop-down list. Provide a name for the control. Select the “Default Date and Time” checkbox to display the current date and time at runtime. Select the “Required” checkbox to make user input mandatory. Select the “Hide” checkbox to hide the widget at runtime. Select the “Read-Only” checkbox to view the control without making a selection. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “Datepicker” widget to configure the “Conditions” properties. Set the acceptable date range’s minimum and maximum. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “Datepicker” widget to configure the “Styling” properties. Enter the CSS syntax. Select the classes to apply from the global drop-down list, then click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “Datepicker” widget to configure the “Other” properties. Enter the tooltip text. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “Datepicker” widget to configure the “Globalize” properties. The application will alert you if there is nothing to globalize, as shown below. Otherwise, select a language from the drop-down list, then click Translate. Click Save. 

 

  • Save the Form definition. Select the Actions - Create Form Instance menu option. Generate a new Form Instance, then select the check box to edit it.

 

  • The Form is displayed to the user as shown below. Select the date and time, then click the Submit button to complete. 

 

  • Note: Selecting the datetime values outside the condition range is unacceptable.
