B4A DateDialog

[metrick]

I am new user.
How do I declare and use B4A DateDialog (Dialogs)?
I have copy the latest Dialogs.jar and Dialogs.xml to Libraries folder.
Thanks in advance.

In the IDE in the lower right corner click on the Libraries Tab.
Check the Dilalogs library.
In Sub_Globals declare
Dim Dialogs1 As DateDialog

Then you can use it, have a look at the Dialogs help.

Best regards.

Thanks, Klaus.
How can I add Dialogs to Designer's Add View list?
I want to create a date dialog input for user to select date and use the date for calculation.

Hello metrick,

the dialogs from the dialog library cannot be added with the designer.
Just take a look at the sample program agraham delivered with his library (DialogsDemo).

I also added a very small project that asks for a date and shows it on a label.

Thanks Specci48.
How can I calculate number of days between two dates using date picker like DATEDIFF function in VB or just using date pickers?

 

[Erel]

You can calculate the number of days between two dates (stored as ticks) with:

Dim NumberOfDays As Long
NumberOfDays = (Date2 - Date1) / DateTime.TicksPerDay

Thank you, Erel:
I wish that B4A HelpViewer come with working examples.
After many hours of playing with DateTime object I got it.
