DateField in DataSetView

Hi guys,

Just managed to combine a DateField with a Combo Box clone in my NextData Set work.

The calendar looks a bit sluggish so maybe have to redo it a bit with cairo don't you think..

I know that was integrated at the last job I worked, and it wasn't really sluggish....

Maybe Maarten meant "old-fashioned" rather than "slow"? Cairo would probably slow things down for that simple view.

Re: DateField in DataSetView

<base href="x-msg://253/">Yes that is true it looks a bit Win95nish, I will anyway have to modify it to take account for available dates, but don't think that Cairo will slow things down. Cairo's speed is compromised only when gradients need to be calculated over a big surfaces which would not be the case for such a small window.

I have issue related to the UI Painter of the DateField however which uses menus to define weekend days and week start days and day abbreviation. That is not flexible enough for my application so I'll probably convert these to accessor methods similar to the print and read selector of ComboBox.

I also don't see any interest in maintaining the spin button although that is obviously subjective.

@+Maarten.
