Date picker

Solved!
Go to solution

I require to provide an interface to the user to choose a start date and end date to sort some data and display. 

 

Ideally I require an interface like the one you find in online hotel booking sites - you choose the year ,  month and then the date.

Any standard tools are there or I need to work from basics and go about it??

What is wrong with the calendar button of the timestamp control?

To expand on this, you could cannibalise the calendar feature of a timestamp control - have a look at <LabVIEW Installation Folder>\Resource\Dialog\picktime.vi.

 

Alternatively, you could use a .NET calendar control - there's a good starting point here.

Frankly I am unaware of such a control. Will search anyway. In the interim the following code works fine :

Since that does not display a calendar, I don't see how it answers your original question but whatever works . In the meantime, please take a couple of minutes to actually look at the controls you have available. Much more than a string control is on the palettes.

The 90's are calling, they want their controls back! Let's face it, it looks pretty rubbish and antiquated and has fallen of Windows 95. Sorry for raising an old thread, but I'm looking for something similar and stumbled across this and had to comment...
