CSS

The visual appearance of BUI controls is defined using CSS (cascading style sheets) rules. Easily change the default colors, border, and other settings by customizing these rules, all without changing any application code. See CSS API for a high-level overview of BUI CSS.

The BBjInputD control is two separate elements. The edit box itself is an <input type="text"> element, styled with the .BBjInputD class name.

.BBjInputD

.BBjInputD.bbj-disabled

.BBjInputD.bbj-focused

.BBjInputD.bbj-readonly

Remarks

To display the selection calendar, press CTRL+P in GUI and the down arrow in BUI.
