Hi,
I'm using CalendarTextField in my project and I have some usability issues with it:
1. As my app is not in English, how to change tooltip of this control? I tried setTooltip(null) but it doesn't work...
2. How to change icon of the button?
3. Is there a way to change format of the text field to dd.mm.yyyy ?

regards
Kamil Toszek

Good questions. I probably have to answer "you can't at this time" on all. I figure all these things have not been setup for customization at the moment, but I'll take a look. On 3. you can set the locale, so if you would go for German, that should be dd.mm.yyyy.

If you have the ability to unjar the file (jfxtras-labs-2.2-r5-20121111.205446-5.jar).  Look in the directory under \jfxtras-labs-2.2-r5-20121111.205446-5\jfxtras\labs\internal\scene\control\skin you will see an icon called "CalendarTextFieldCaspianSkinIcon.png".  Changed that file and it will change the pop calender icon.
 
Hope that helps

Hi,
I've got email from user "Lleo" - no idea why it's not displayed here also.. anyway, here is his answer:

"If you have the ability to unjar the file (jfxtras-labs-2.2-r5-20121111.205446-5.jar).  Look in the directory under \jfxtras-labs-2.2-r5-20121111.205446-5\jfxtras\labs\internal\scene\control\skin you will see an icon called "CalendarTextFieldCaspianSkinIcon.png".  Changed that file and it will change the pop calender icon."

This answers my second question. (But there should be an api for that too!


Tom, you mean locale for this particular control, or general locale used by application? If you mean default one then, I'm using polish locale by default (mm.dd.yyyy), but it still displays yyyy.mm.dd...

I've fixed the tooltip already and am working settin the icon (imageview) through CSS. It should work out of the box but as always with CSS the trick is to figure out how selector to use. Time is a bit of a problem ATM; over here we have "Sinterklaas" coming weekend, and all I seem to have time for is running in and out of shops.

I mean the control's locale. I need to check if it uses Locale.getDefault as the default value.

That's one way of doing it, but not how it should be. A CSS selector should be able to set that.

I'm about to release a new snapshot with fixes for 1 and 2.

.CalendarTextField .icon {
-fx-image: url("AlternateCalendarIcon.jpg");
}

There currently is one compilation error that another developer needs to fix before I can release.

Also wanted to ask if there is a solutions for when the user hold the mouse a little too long on changing the month or year with the popup calendar.  It will start to scroll continously through the years and not stop.  Thanks for the hard work - wonderful calendar!!  Let me know when the update is released.

Correction, the problem only occurs for user using windows xp.  (Windows 7/Vista users have no problems with contious scrolling - figure the other user should be ready for an upgrade anyway)

Well, since I'm on XP also, I still need to take a peek.

Are we in the mood / is there a reason to release the current 2.2-r5-SNAPSHOT as 2.2-r5? I've got some minor bugfixes and improvements in there. Nothing large. But BeanAdapter is back in I believe?

I cannot reproduce the problem on WXP. So I consider it a fluke.

Hi 

Need Help ..

Unable to get Tool tip to override the existing message "Type a date or use # for today, or +/-[d|w|m|y] for delta's (for example: -3m for minus 3 months)\nUse cursor up and down plus optional shift (week), ctrl (month) or alt (year) for quick keyboard changes."

Please provide a solution to override the calender tooltip message asap.

Thank you.

You'll get the same answer here as on github; I'll look into it as soon as I've finished the JFXtras extraction.

This is strange, since the tooltip is perfectly overridable; just tested it. Can you provide an simple example?
