Event when changing year in DatePicker

[ageiter]

Hi,

we use the DatePicker and our customer really wants the following:

1. he selects a date in the calendar
2. now he realizes that he has selected the wrong year
3. he goes back to the calendar and changes the year
   -> Result: The date is not changed, as he would have to select the corresponding day in the calendar.

So if he has already set a date and only changes the year in the calendar, he wants the day and month to remain the same and not have to be selected again.

We have tried to make this possible, but we have not come up with a solution. Is there any workaround to achieve this?

If not, could you imagine adding this function? If not, would it perhaps be possible for you to implement an event that is fired when the year is changed? (e.g. YearChanged) Then we could implement this ourselves and replace the existing date with the changed year.

Thanks for an answer,
Adrian

Well, my first thought was that it was not possible. I had to check to see what could be done, and it was not that difficult to implement. It works.

Now, one thing that might be a problem is when the user selects year-02-29. Then, if he changes the year to something else, it will automatically change the to year-03-01. I guess it makes sense.

We also have another problem. If user:

• selects a date
• open the calendar again
• change the month, then change the year while the calendar is still open
• the month now goes back to the month selected in the first step

I find this problematic from a UX perspective, as it would be pretty difficult to change the date once it was already selected.
