dateitem to only show month/year

[mgandy]

Great!

Thanks for the support

[smartgwt.dev]

The API DateItem.setSelectorFormat(DateItemSelectorFormat selectorFormat) has been added.

Glad it helped...

it came from try and error with the attribute names I saw after running dateItem,getAttributes()

Thank You, works splendidly!

May i ask how you found this little gem of functionality? I always look at the javadocs, but they does not mention this attribute, nor did I find any example that does this.

Hello,

for SmartGWT, you can use:

DateItem fromDateMonth = new DateItem();  
fromDateMonth.setAttribute("selectorFormat", DateItemSelectorFormat.MONTH_YEAR);

I am looking a way to have the year only:

DateItem fromDateMonth = new DateItem();  
fromDateMonth.setAttribute("selectorFormat", "Y");

It displays the year selectItem but when I want to retrieve the value, it is said to be Invalid...

Any ideas?

Hi guys,

have looked at apidocs and played around a little, but to no avail.

Is there some smart way to use the dateitem without the date? I need a control to select a month in a year, and haven't gotten it to work or found another component.

It's not that hard to do it myself, i know, but the widget is pretty neat, with the picker on the side, language controls, etc.

Thankful for pointers!
