Add calendar icon to input text

susanlinJun 29 2015 — edited Jun 30 2015

Is it possible to add the calendar chooser to a normal input text box? I ask because I need a textbox which can insert words or a date so the inputDate component will not work for me, but I need to have a calendar icon to allow the user to select a date.

Hello,

You can add an inputText and an inputDate.

<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="Label 1" id="plam1">

     <af:inputText simple="true" id="it1" partialTriggers="id1">

     <af:inputDate label="Label 1" simple="true" id="id1" autoSubmit="true" styleClass="myClass"

                            valueChangeListener="#{testBean.valueChangeInputDate}"/>

</af:panelLabelAndMessage>

Then hide inputDate label using simple="true" and content in the skin:

af|inputDate.myClass::content{

    display:none;

}

you have to pass the value to the inputtext and you can do it in the valueChangeListener.

    public void valueChangeDate(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {

        Object o = valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();

        RichInputText rit = (RichInputText)findComponentInRoot("it1");

        rit.setValue(o);

    }

regards,

Ruben

In af:inputDate words or a date may be specified without selecting a date from the calendar popup.
