Hi,

I think that this is expected behaviour. dpSetSelected does the same as the user
clicking that date in the calendar. When the user clicks that date in the 
calendar
then the date is pushed into the text field.

Why do you not want the textfield to update? What use-case are you addressing?

Cheers,

Kelvin :)

Hi Kelvin

I guess you are right. It was just confusing for me because in the last release 
(2.1.1), datePicker didn't behave like that. There i could select a date with 
the 
function dpSetSelected an it didn't write this value into the textfield.

It's too complicated for me to explain what i wanted to do in a foreign 
language 
(english), but i guess u're right. The new behaviour feels correct.

Hi Raffael,

Yes - I think it was a bug that I recently fixed. I'm sure there is a way that 
you
can prevent it from showing up (or maybe just set the value of the input to ''
immediately after creating the date picker) if you need to in your particular 
case.

But I think that the current behaviour of dpSetSelected is correct and should 
remain
like that,

Thanks,

Kelvin :)

Hi,

we are having the following issue.
In a grid we have start date, due date and completed date.

we have mentioned our list of scenarios below.

1) The first calender text box field I click on is blank.  The calendar opens 
with 
current date selected. supose I choose 11/01/09 and it is saved. 
2) The next field I click on is blank.  The calendar  should opens with 
11/01/09 
selected (the last date shown).  I select 11/05/09 and save my choice. 
3) The next field I click on already contains date 12/15/09.  The calendar 
opens 
with 12/15/09 selected (the value in the field).  I make no changes. 
The next field I click on is blank.  The calendar opens with 12/15/09 selected 
(this 
last date shown) 

please help us how we can acheive the above one
