Calander Widget on VF Page

Hi all,

 

I have a custom input field called Start Date and i want to use a calander widget on it.

 

Any pointers on how to do that in Visualforce?

 

Here is where i would want to attach it...Any help is much appreciated!

 

 

 <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
     <apex:outputLabel value="Start date(YYYY-MM-DD):" for="startDate"/>
                        
        <apex:outputPanel layout="block" styleClass="requiredInput">
                <apex:outputPanel layout="block" styleClass="requiredBlock"/>
<apex:inputText value="{!startDate}" id="startDate" required="true"/>
</apex:outputPanel>
          </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
 
 Thanks!

still, all you need is a controller property getter/setter that points to an sobject that has a date field contained in it.
 
 
 

public Task mytask { get; set; }{ mytask = new Task(); } 




 
then in your page use the task activityDate to show the user the required UI
 
 

<apex:inputField value="{!mytask.activityDate}" />

Hi Ron,
 
I am not using an object's field for this. It is just on my form as a control.

Thanks Ron! That worked..
 
Can i do something similar to get a look up window like we get in advanced filters in Reports tab when we choose a picklist like industry or rating?
