Variable

Description

INPUTD control ID.

Horizontal position of the upper-left corner of the INPUTD control.

Vertical position of the upper-left corner of the INPUTD control.

Width of the INPUTD control.

Height of the INPUTD control. To create a standard size control, set the h parameter to 0.

flags

Control flags, as follows:

Flag	Description
$0000$	Left justifies text (default).
$0001$	Sets the control to be initially disabled.
$0002$	Passes the `Enter` key to the parent window.
$0004$	Passes the `Tab` key to the parent window.
$0008$	Prompts non-mouse events on the control to highlight the control text.
$0010$	Sets the control to be initially invisible.
$0020$	Designates the control to be part of a keyboard navigation group.
$0800$	Draws a recessed client edge around the control.
$4000$	Centers text.
$8000$	Right justifies text.

mask

Output mask. If specified as "", the current default date mask from STBL("!DATE") is used. See Date Input for complete rules.

rules

Input rules. If specified as "", the value in STBL("!IRULES") is used.

Flag Bit	Effect on Input if Bit is Set
$10$	Show "week number" column in the popup calendar.
$20$	Use +/- instead of up/down to move to next/previous date.
$80$	Beep if an invalid date is entered.

restore

Restore value, specified as a Julian date. Use -1 for blank, 0 for today, or JUL(Y,M,D) for a particular date.

val

Initial value, specified as a Julian date. Use -1 for blank, 0 for today, or JUL(Y,M,D) for a particular date.

Return Value

This method returns the created BBjInputD object.

Remarks

If the ID parameter is not specified, a control ID is assigned dynamically using getAvailableControlID().

If the x, y, width, and height parameters are not specified, they are all initialized to 0. This is typically for use with DWC windows that dynamically arrange their contents (window creation flag $00100000$).

rem 'Create an InputD control

rem 'Obtain the instance of the BBjAPI object
let myAPI! = BBjAPI()

rem 'Open the SysGui device
