Is there a date selector control available in Web UI builder?

I am looking for a date selector control to be used in Web UI builder.  Any suggestions?

Hi,

 

Are you talking about a way to get the current date or some sort of drop down list to pick a specific date? I have not seen either available in WebUI Builder but you could create it in LabVIEW, publish as a web service, and read the web service in WebUI Builder.

I am looking for a drop down to select a date like "start date" and "end date" for a process.  Is there a nice looking date selector or calendar for selecting a date?  Published as a web service would the date be a string or numeric?  Thanks for your help.

Hi,

 

If you are trying to select the date, then using the web services isn't going to be much help unless there are only certain dates which can be selected. Are you looking for something similar to the Departure and Arrival Dates on airline websites?

Hi Greg,

 

That would be an acceptable solution.  I'll work with the drop down ring.

 

Thank you

Ken,

 

The drop down ring will definitely allow you to select dates, but only dates you predefine in the drop down.  As long as you do not need to be able to select any date, this should work.
