                                           Canvas defaults)

Changes the defaults for Canvas AutoChildren named autoChildName.

Parameters:

autoChildName - name of an AutoChild to customize the defaults for.

defaults - Canvas defaults to apply. These defaults override any existing properties without destroying or wiping out non-overridden properties. For usage tips on this param, see SGWTProperties.

                                           FormItem defaults)

Changes the defaults for FormItem AutoChildren named autoChildName.

Parameters:

autoChildName - name of an AutoChild to customize the defaults for.

defaults - FormItem defaults to apply. These defaults override any existing properties without destroying or wiping out non-overridden properties. For usage tips on this param, see SGWTProperties.

changePickerIconDefaults

public static void changePickerIconDefaults(FormItemIcon defaults)

setBrowserInputType

public void setBrowserInputType(java.lang.String browserInputType)

If useTextField is true and browserInputType is set to "datetime", then a native HTML5 local datetime input is used in place of a text input.

The use of a native HTML5 datetime input causes certain features to be disabled. Input masks, the picker icon, and a custom datetimeFormatter are not supported. In-field hints are currently supported in Chrome/Chromium/Opera 15 and iOS 5.0+, but future browser changes might force this support to be removed. Therefore, it is safest to not use in-field hints (set showHintInField to false) in conjunction with a native HTML5 datetime input. In-field hints are not supported in Opera 12 when using a native HTML5 datetime input. If in-field hints are not supported in the browser, then showHintInField has no effect and any hint will be shown to the side of the input.

NOTES:

• This feature requires specific CSS changes. Currently these changes have been made to the Enterprise, EnterpriseBlue, and Graphite skins only.
• In Chrome/Chromium/Opera 15 and Opera 12, native datetime inputs need to be made wider in order to fit the full datetime value within the native control. However, on iOS 5.0+, the normal width is fine. Be sure to test the layout of the form in all browsers that you wish to support.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Overrides:

setBrowserInputType in class DateItem

Parameters:

browserInputType - New browserInputType value. Default value is null

getBrowserInputType

public java.lang.String getBrowserInputType()

Overrides:

getBrowserInputType in class DateItem

Returns:

Current browserInputType value. Default value is null

setDisplayFormat

public void setDisplayFormat(DateDisplayFormat displayFormat)

This property can be used to customize the format in which datetimes are displayed.
Should be set to a standard DateDisplayFormat or a function which will return a formatted date time string.

If unset, the standard shortDateTime format as set up in DateUtil.setShortDatetimeDisplayFormat() will be used.

NOTE: you may need to update the inputFormat to ensure the DateItem is able to parse user-entered date strings back into Dates

Overrides:

setDisplayFormat in class FormItem

Parameters:

displayFormat - New displayFormat value. Default value is null

See Also:

setInputFormat(java.lang.String)

getDisplayFormat

public DateDisplayFormat getDisplayFormat()

This property can be used to customize the format in which datetimes are displayed.
Should be set to a standard DateDisplayFormat or a function which will return a formatted date time string.

If unset, the standard shortDateTime format as set up in DateUtil.setShortDatetimeDisplayFormat() will be used.

NOTE: you may need to update the inputFormat to ensure the DateItem is able to parse user-entered date strings back into Dates

Returns:

Current displayFormat value. Default value is null

See Also:

getInputFormat()

setInputFormat

public void setInputFormat(java.lang.String inputFormat)

If DateItem.useTextField is true this property can be used to specify the input format for date strings. If unset, the input format will be determined based on the specified DateItem.dateFormatter if possible (see DateItem.getInputFormat()), otherwise picked up from the Date class (see DateUtil.setInputFormat()).

Should be set to a standard DateInputFormat

Note that the DateInputFormat property is sufficient to parse date or datetime strings specified in most standard date formats. However should an entirely custom parsing function be required developers can apply a custom editorValueParser function.

This attribute does not have an effect if a native HTML5 date input is being used. See DateItem.browserInputType.

Overrides:

setInputFormat in class DateItem

Parameters:

inputFormat - New inputFormat value. Default value is null

See Also:

FormItem.setDisplayFormat(com.smartgwt.client.types.DateDisplayFormat), DateInputFormat

getInputFormat

public java.lang.String getInputFormat()

If DateItem.useTextField is true this property can be used to specify the input format for date strings. If unset, the input format will be determined based on the specified DateItem.dateFormatter if possible (see DateItem.getInputFormat()), otherwise picked up from the Date class (see DateUtil.setInputFormat()).

Should be set to a standard DateInputFormat

Overrides:

getInputFormat in class DateItem

Returns:

Current inputFormat value. Default value is null

See Also:

com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.DateItem#getDisplayFormat, DateInputFormat

getUseTextField

public java.lang.Boolean getUseTextField()

DateTimeItems show datetime values in a freeform text entry area.

Overrides:

getUseTextField in class DateItem

Returns:

Current useTextField value. Default value is true

Basics overview and related methods

setDefaultProperties

public static void setDefaultProperties(DateTimeItem dateTimeItemProperties)

Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties of the class instance passed to this function. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

Parameters:

dateTimeItemProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
