Apex search to return dates

Hi,

 

I would like to build a VF page which pulls back a list of all opportunities with a certain close date.

 

Are there any good guides or starter code.

 

Simple VF page with a date search box, it search and it pulls back the opportunities.

 

Thanks

Not sure if you've come across the Page Developers Guide, but here's a link

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/salesforce_pages_developers_guide.pdf

 

I would say thats the best place for you to start.

 

Not completely sure of your requirement, but it also seems like something you can do with List Views and Filters - these are just standard config as opposed to custom code, which you are considering. Read up on List Views, and you could surprise youself !

 

If indeed your requirement is so complex as to solicit customisation, then it would seem like you need a simple VF Page bound to a Controller Extension (Extending the Opportunity Standard Controller).

Hi,

 

Thanks for this.

 

I am actually looking to build a more complicated list view using an extension controller.

 

Wanted to see how others have built a list view custom controller to control dates as I have a few upcoming projects that revolve around this solution.

 

I can find text based search / list but not date.

 

Thanks
