Hi

I wish to use the date picker in a table cell. I believe I can make it work using a CellEditor but I need the Moneydance UI as a parameter. What is the easiest way of getting this?

   Hi Mike,

   You can check out the example code I just commited for the security price entry (id: "priceui") extension in the git repo:

     CustomDateFormat dateFormat = UserPreferences.getInstance().getShortDateFormatter();
     asOfDate = new JDateField(dateFormat);

   Thanks!

   JDateField does not work in a table cell. I see that there is a MD version of DatePicker and I was hopinmg to use that. It requires the MoneydanceUI as a parameter and I was asking how to get to the current instance. What I have worked out is:

   MoneydanceUI mdGUI = Main.mainobj.getUI();

   Is this valid and would you recommend its use?

   Regards
   Mike

   Hi Mike,Isn't the JDateField a subclass of JTextField? I thought it was and could therefore be used I. A standard table cell editor.

   Thanks Sean, you are quite right. Some months ago we had a similar discussion when I was trying to use a JDateField in a table without an editor. It didnot work and at that time you said that you haven't used a JDateField in a table. Putting it into a cell editor seems to work.
