DateItem Problem within ListGrid

[ajmarrer]

SmartGWT Power 2.5, GWT 2.4.
Firefox 6.0.

I have a ListGrid and one of its fields is a Date of Birth. Therefore, I have created the following piece of code.

        ListGridField dateOfBirth = new ListGridField("DateOfBirth");
        dateOfBirth.setAlign(Alignment.CENTER);
        dob.setStartDate(new DateItem());
        dateOfBirth.setRequired(true);

        ListGridField embarkDate = new ListGridField("EmbarkDate");
        embarkDate.setAlign(Alignment.CENTER);
        embarkDate.setEditorType(new DateItem());
        embarkDate.setRequired(true);

When I test this, everything seems works fine. However when I click on the Year, which produces a list of years ranging from 1995-2015, I notice that I need a wider range of available dates.

So I saw that the DateItem object has a method, setStartDate(), that accepts a Date object and makes that its starting date.

Then I modified the above code to look like the following.

        ListGridField dateOfBirth = new ListGridField("DateOfBirth");
        dateOfBirth.setAlign(Alignment.CENTER);
        dateOfBirth.setRequired(true);
        DateItem dob = new DateItem();
        dob.setStartDate(new Date(0));
        dateOfBirth.setEditorType(dob);

        ListGridField embarkDate = new ListGridField("EmbarkDate");
        embarkDate.setAlign(Alignment.CENTER);
        embarkDate.setEditorType(new DateItem());
        embarkDate.setRequired(true);

As a result when I click on the Year, I am able to see every year from 1969 - 2015 which is what I was expecting. However, when I select the Year for my "embarkDate" field, I receive the following error as well as the Year list shows up in the exact place of the dateOfBirth field instead of on the embarkDate field:

Can anyone shed any light on this matter for me? am I doing something incorrectly? Thanks in advance.

We've not been able to reproduce this in tests - however, a related bug has been fixed and may address your issue, so please retest with a nightly after tomorrow.

In the meantime, try calling setUseSharedPicker(false) on the dob DateItem to see whether that fixes the problem. If you continue to see issues, post a complete example we can run that shows the failure.

[ajmarrer]

I tried using the setUseSharedPicker(false) method and the timing of the error changes but I still get it.

Next I will try the nightly build and see if I could reproduce the issue.
I will update the forum upon testing.

What time-zones are you using?

[ajmarrer]

I am using whatever the default Time Zone is.

I have not used the DateFormatter at all.

However, I just used the nightly build on a mock up test page and I didn't see the error occur.

I will incorporate the nightly into my build and see if:
1. The error is in fact gone.
2. The nightly doesn't change anything else that I have created. (probably won't be just in case)


On a slightly different note....if I needed the Year Picker to go from the current Year back through 1930, and/or forward through 2040....how can I accomplish this because using dateItem.setStartDate(new Date(0)) only sets the year picker from 1969 through 2015.

Additionally, if I use the Calendar class I get the error message ".....did you forget to inherit the Calendar class...."

Any ideas?

[ajmarrer]

I tested the nightly build with my official build and everything seems to be working as expected.

However when I launch the application from Eclipse I get the following message on the output screen....

[INFO] [mproject] - Your *.gwt.xml module configuration prohibits the use of the current doucment rendering mode (document.compatMode=' CSS1Compat').<br>Modify your application's host HTML page doctype, or update your custom 'document.compatMode' configuration property settings.

Is there any particular reason for this?
Everything seems to work fine even though I am getting this message...
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
