%ZEN.Component.dateText

deprecated class %ZEN.Component.dateText extends %ZEN.Component.control

Input control specialized for handling date values.
This displays a text box as well as a button that displays a popup calendar.
When the user enters a value into this control, it will be converted into the closest matching date value or and invalid date message.
Setting the value property of this control, will bypass date matching.
The value of this control is always in the canonical form: YYYY-MM-DD, you can, however, display a different format by setting the format property.
