Calendar setDate NOT working

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

I am having trouble with the following.
Basically IF the user forgets to Set the calendar, I want it to default to today, so:

var cal1 = form.getCalendar(“dt1”);
var d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate() - 1);
cal1.setDate(d);

Althought IF I get use cal1.getDate() it returns the correct value, it does NOT show the date on the calendar.I have tried cal1.value(), cal1.label, etc …
I’ve been breaking my head on this for 3 days now!!!

Thank you

Hello
You need to transfer as parameter in setDate the whole date, not only day

Hy Darya, long time no speak!
I really don’t understand what you mean, can you pls give me an example?

#4

Actually, if you look at my code, I AM passing the whole date!
I am passing “d” which is a date() object

Nice to see you too :slight_smile:
Could you provide us completed demo to inspect your issue?

I have the same problem.
Although the dhtmlXCalendar control does have the value but is not reflected in UI …

I’m using Knockout, but KO is not the problem

I using:
Product Name: dhtmlxSuite
Version: 5.0.2
Edition: Professional

ko.bindingHandlers.dhtmlXCalendar = {
    init: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor) {        
        var calendar = ko.utils.domData.get(element, 'dhtmlXCalendar');
        calendar.attachEvent("onChange", function (date, state) {
            // Este evento no lo lanza shit!!!
        });                
        calendar.attachEvent("onClick", function (date) {            
            var observable = valueAccessor();    
            observable(date);            
        });
    },
    update: function (element, valueAccessor) {
        var value = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
        var _calendar = ko.utils.domData.get(element, 'dhtmlXCalendar');        
        if (_calendar) {
            _calendar.setDate(value);
        }
    }
};

There are two cases

a) when calendar is in the dhtmlxform (original case of this topic), you need to use form.setItemValue API instead of direct calendar manipulation

b) when calendar is on its own, setDate sets date correctly
