iOS Question How do I dynamically create a date picker?

[davepamn]

I need to dynamically create a date picker for a scrollview and then initialize it with a parameter date.

Dim dp As DatePicker
dp.Initialize("dp")
dp.Ticks = DateTime.Now
Page1.RootPanel.AddView(dp,0, 0, 100%x, 200)

How do I set the date picker using mm/dd/yyyy?

Do you have a function that converts a date into ticks

Please start a new thread for this question.

    Dim arrDatePicker(100) As DatePicker

    arrDatePicker(iDatePickerCounter).Mode=arrDatePicker(iDatePickerCounter).MODE_DATE
    DateTime.DateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy"
    arrDatePicker(iDatePickerCounter).Ticks=DateTime.DateParse(sTestIdValue)

This code worked! I was able to set a date and format to Month, Day, and Year in the Picker Control

 

[davepamn]

this snippet reverses the ticks to a date

sTestValue=GetDate(arrDatePicker(i).ticks)

Public Sub GetDate(Ticks As Long) As String

    Dim df As String = DateTime.DateFormat

    DateTime.DateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy"

    Dim res As String = DateTime.Date(Ticks)

    DateTime.DateFormat = df

    Return res

End Sub

Dim dp As DatePicker
dp.Initialize("dp")
dp.Ticks = DateTime.Now
Page1.RootPanel.AddView(dp,0, 0, 100%x, 200)

How to dismiss the picker after setting the required date ?

 

[Erel]

The picker cannot be dismissed. You can remove it like you remove any view (dp.RemoveFromParent).

In other applications there will be done button to dismiss the picker in Iphone . In Ipad if we touch the out side area of picker it will be dismissed . How the do that ?

You can handle the Page_Click event and call Page.ResignFocus.
