Implementation

The simple implementation does not require any options. It displays a non-editable text box with a value that represents a date. Clicking on the cell opens up the calendar widget.

Options

first_day_of_week

Integer representing first day of the week (0=Sunday, 6=Saturday)

read_only

Sets the widget to be read only. In read-only mode, clicking on the cell does not bring up the calendar for input. Only a text box with the date value is displayed.

Advanced

The simplest and most common usage is the default implementation.

<element name='start_date'>
  <display class='tactic.ui.widget.CalendarInputWdg'/>
</element>

To set the work week to start on a different day than Sunday, change the first_day_of_week . This option is an integer which represents the days of the week where 0=Sunday and 6=Saturday.

<element name='start_date'>
  <display class='tactic.ui.widget.CalendarInputWdg'>
    <first_day_of_week>6</first_day_of_week>
  </display>
</element>
