Using the Date/Time Picker

The M-Business Date/Time Picker is a MIME player that allows the user to select a date and a time. A Date/Time Picker instance is initially displayed as a read-only text field. The user taps on the text field to expand the Date/Time Picker in-line; the user taps on the text field again to return the Date/Time Picker to its original state.

Note

The Date/Time Picker currently is available only for use with the M-Business XML POD, which receives data from the M-Business XML conduit. If you use the UltraLite on-device database, you will have to provide comparable functionality.

Caution

If you use the Date/Time Picker, you must make sure that the supporting code file on the device is the correct one for the version of M-Business Client on the device. For more information, see M-Business version-specific on-device code files.

Note

The Date/Time Picker is not currently supported on Symbian OS.

The rest of this section covers setting up the object tag to embed the Date/Time Picker in an HTML page and testing your Date/Time Picker application on an emulator or on a physical device. For additional information on using the List Viewer, see the following sources:
