The XdevPopupDateField is a date selector that displays an XdevInlineDateField when you click on the calendar icon and select a specific date. With the help of the control bar, you can navigate back and forth by month and year. The selected date is then displayed in the XdevPopupDateField.

Important properties:

• RangeStart - Only the period after this date is visible.

• RangeEnd - Only the period up to this date is visible.

• Resolution 

  • null - Calendar with day view (like DAY).

  • SECOND -  Additional time display accurate to the second.
    

  • MINUTE -  Additional time display accurate to the minute.
  • HOUR - Additional time display accurate to the hour.
  • DAY - Standard view. Calendar with day view.
  • MONTH - The control bar but not the calendar is displayed. You can use the control bar to navigate back and forth by month.

• TimeZone - Determines a fixed time zone. When null is selected, the local timezone is automatically applied.

  popupDateField.clear();
