DatesBeans Wiring DiagramThe DatesBeans Suite is intended for creation of applications that use dates. It allows converting dates to a text and vice versa, and also performing calculations on them.
  1. To format and parse dates, use the DateConverter bean. Wire the input inputDate (or inputText) property and the result resultText (or resultDate) property.
  2. To inspect the process of entering a date by the user, use the DateSupport bean. Wire a visual component of text editing to the inputComponent property, customize the pattern and wire the result property to other elements (or another element) of your application.
  3. To perform operations on dates and dates, dates and numbers, use the DateEvaluator bean. Wire inputFirstArg and inputSecondArg properties, customize the operation type and wire the resultAsDate or resultAsDays property.

DateSupport This bean can inspect the process of entering a date by the user. The bean automatically converts the text in the component into the date and checks it according to a defined format
