Editing dates in non-editable fields!

Classic Servoy

I discovered something very dangerous:

In non-editable date fields you can still edit the day, month and year by just selecting it and use the arrow-up and -down keys.

How can we avoid this?

Formatting them as text field won’t allow that. But I’m not sure it’s what you want…:-)

What do you mean, Riccardino?

Display type = text field?

I made a presentation to make it clear:

Ah, wait: now I see what you mean.
Entering the field, you can’t select anything BUT double-clicking on the part of the date will allow changes even if the field is non-editable.

Hmmm: this is an unexpected behaviour, I’m afraid.

Until we have an official answer, you could consider using:

elements.your_date_field.enabled = false

But you could have unwanted side-effects…

Hope it helps

Thanks, Ricardo!

This helps, but now I need a couple of hours to make this safe everywhere… (make elements, onload method,…)

Unless the dev team finds a solution???

TIA!

I’ve found something similar.
When you have an non-editable text field and have the text toolbar enabled you still can set the styles, etc. of the text.
This is highly undesirable!

Non-editable fields should be just that. Not somewhat non-editable. :!:

Just to confirm.

I have a simular issue regarding showing dates in a non editable textbox.

Kind regards Rene
