Interface DateVetoPolicy

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    DateVetoPolicyMinimumMaximumDate

    public interface DateVetoPolicy
    DateVetoPolicy, A DateVetoPolicy can be implemented to prevent specified non-null dates from being selected in your date picker. A vetoed date cannot be selected by typing in the date manually, and cannot be selected by using the mouse. See the demo class for an example of implementing a DateVetoPolicy. You can choose whether or not empty dates (null dates) are allowed by using the setting called "DatePickerSettings.allowEmptyDates". If a programmer sets a date using DatePicker.setDate(), that date will be checked against the veto policy just like a date that is entered by the user. If a vetoed date is set by the programmer, then the vetoed date will be displayed in the text field (using the vetoed font), but that date will not be committed to the "last valid date". A similar behavior is applied for the DatePickerSettings.initialDate value. Veto policies are only enforced at the moment that the user or the programmer sets the date picker to a new date. Veto policies are specifically -not- enforced at the time that DatePicker.getDate() is called. Additional details: In certain situations, it is possible for the "last valid date" value which is stored in the date picker, to be considered "vetoed" by a currently set current veto policy. This can happen if the veto policy is replaced after the date is set. This can also happen if a veto policy is written with rules that can be modified at runtime, and those rules are changed after the date is set. If you wish to verify (at any particular moment) that a date is allowed by the current rules of the date picker, you can call the function DatePicker.isDateAllowed(someDate). To check the value returned by getDate() against the current rules, you can call isDateAllowed(getDate()).

      • isDateAllowed

        boolean isDateAllowed​(java.time.LocalDate date)
        isDateAllowed, Implement this function to indicate which dates are allowed, and which ones are vetoed. Vetoed dates can not be selected with the keyboard or mouse. Return true to indicate that a date is allowed, or return false to indicate that a date is vetoed. To disallow empty dates, set "DatePickerSettings.allowEmptyDates" to false. The value of null will never be passed to this function, under any case.
