All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable
```
@JavaBean
public class JXDatePicker
extends JComponent
```
A component for entering dates with a user interaction similar to a JComboBox. The dates can be typed into a text field or selected from a JXMonthView which opens in a JXPopupMenu on user's request.
The date selection is controlled by the JXMonthView's DateSelectionModel. This allows the use of all its functionality in the JXDatePicker as well. F.i. restrict the selection to a date in the current or next week:
```
 Appointment appointment = new Appointment(director,
         "Be sure to have polished shoes!");
 JXDatePicker picker = new JXDatePicker();
 Calendar calendar = picker.getMonthView().getCalendar();
 // starting today if we are in a hurry
 calendar.setTime(new Date());
 picker.getMonthView().setLowerBound(calendar.getTime());
 // end of next week
 CalendarUtils.endOfWeek(calendar);
 calendar.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR);
 picker.getMonthView().setUpperBound(calendar.getTime());
 
```
Similar to a JXMonthView, the JXDatePicker fires an ActionEvent when the user actively commits or cancels a selection. Interested client code can add a ActionListener to be notified by the user action.
```
 JXDatePicker picker = new JXDatePicker(new Date());
 ActionListener l = new ActionListener() {
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
         if (JXDatePicker.COMMIT_KEY.equals(e.getActionCommand)) {
             saveDate(picker.getDate());
         }
     }
 };
 picker.addActionListener(l);
 
```
Note that ActionListener will not be notified if the user edits the date text without hitting the Enter key afterwards. To detect both kinds of date change, interested client code can add a PropertyChangeListener.
```
 JXDatePicker picker = new JXDatePicker(new Date());
 PropertyChangeListener listener = new PropertyChangeListener() {
     public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent e) {
         if ("date".equals(e.getPropertyName()) {
              saveDate(picker.getDate());
         }
     }
 };
 picker.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);
 
```
The DateFormats used in the JXDatePicker's are initialized to the default formats of the DatePickerFormatter, as defined by the picker's resourceBundle DatePicker.properties. Application code can overwrite the picker's default
```
 picker.setDateFormats(myCustomFormat, myAlternativeCustomFormat);
 
```
PENDING JW: explain what the alternatives are for (after understanding it myself ;-)
The selected Date is a bound property of the JXDatePicker. This allows easy binding to a property of a custom bean when using a binding framework.
Keybindings (as installed by the UI-Delegate)
- ENTER commits the edited or selected value
- ESCAPE reverts the edited or selected value
- alt-DOWN opens the monthView popup
- shift-F5 if monthView is visible, navigates the monthView to today (no effect otherwise)
- F5 commits today
PENDNG JW: support per-OS keybindings to be installed, currently they are hardcoded in our (single) BasicDatePickerUI.

- Method Detail
  - setDate
```
public void setDate(Date date)
```
    Sets the date property.
    Does nothing if the ui vetos the new date - as might happen if the code tries to set a date which is unselectable in the monthView's context. The actual value of the new Date is controlled by the JXMonthView's DateSelectionModel. The default implementation normalizes the date to the start of the day in the model's calendar's coordinates, that is all time fields are zeroed. To keep the time fields, configure the monthView with a SingleDaySelectionModel.
    At all "stable" (= not editing in date input field nor in the monthView) times the date is the same in the JXMonthView, this JXDatePicker and the editor. If a new Date is set, this invariant is enforced by the DatePickerUI.
    This is a bound property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    date - the new date to set.
    
    See Also:
    
    getDate(), DateSelectionModel, SingleDaySelectionModel

  - updateTimeZone
```
protected void updateTimeZone(TimeZone oldValue,
                              TimeZone newValue)
```
    Callback from monthView timezone changes.
    NOTE: as timeZone is a bound property of this class we need to guarantee the propertyChangeNotification. As this class doesn't own this property it must listen to the owner (monthView) and re-fire the change.
    
    Parameters:
    
    oldValue - the old timezone.
    
    newValue - the new timezone.
  - getUI
```
public DatePickerUI getUI()

  - setFormats
```
public void setFormats(String... formats)
```
    Replaces the currently installed formatter and factory used by the editor. These string formats are defined by the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class.
    Note: The given formats are internally synched to the picker's current TimeZone.
    
    Parameters:
    
    formats - zero or more not null string formats to use. Note that a null array is allowed and resets the formatter to use the localized default formats.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - any array element is null.
    
    See Also:

  - setFormats
```
public void setFormats(DateFormat... formats)
```
    Replaces the currently installed formatter and factory used by the editor.
    Note: The given formats are internally synched to the picker's current TimeZone.
    
    Parameters:
    
    formats - zero or more not null formats to use. Note that a null array is allowed and resets the formatter to use the localized default formats.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - any of its elements is null.
  - getFormats
```
public DateFormat[] getFormats()
```
    Returns an array of the formats used by the installed formatter if it is a subclass of JXDatePickerFormatter. javax.swing.JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatter and javax.swing.text.DefaultFormatter do not have support for accessing the formats used.
    Returns: array of formats guaranteed to be not null, but might be empty.
  getMonthView public JXMonthView getMonthView() Return the JXMonthView used in the popup to select dates from. Returns: the month view component setMonthView public void setMonthView(JXMonthView monthView) Set the component to use the specified JXMonthView. If the new JXMonthView is configured to a different time zone it will affect the time zone of this component. Parameters: monthView - month view comopnent. Throws: NullPointerException - if view component is null See Also: setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone), getTimeZone() getTimeZone public TimeZone getTimeZone() Gets the time zone. This is a convenience method which returns the time zone of the JXMonthView being used. Returns: The TimeZone used by the JXMonthView. setTimeZone public void setTimeZone(TimeZone tz) Sets the time zone with the given time zone value. This is a convenience method which returns the time zone of the JXMonthView being used. PENDING JW: currently this property is the only property of the monthView which is exposed in this api. Not sure why it is here at all. It's asymetric (to the other properties) and as such should be either removed or the others which might be relevant to a datePicker exposed as well (probably hiding the monthView itself as an implementation detail of the ui delegate). Parameters: tz - The TimeZone. getLinkDay public Date getLinkDay() Returns the date shown in the LinkPanel. PENDING JW: the property should be named linkDate - but that's held by the deprecated long returning method. Maybe revisit if we actually remove the other. Returns: the date shown in the LinkPanel. setLinkDay public void setLinkDay(Date linkDay, String linkFormatString) Set the date the link will use and the string defining a MessageFormat to format the link. If no valid date is in the editor when the popup is displayed the popup will focus on the month the linkDate is in. Calling this method will replace the currently installed linkPanel and install a new one with the requested date and format. Parameters: linkDay - the Date to set on the LinkPanel linkFormatString - String used to format the link See Also: MessageFormat setLinkDay public void setLinkDay(Date linkDay) Sets the date shown in the TodayPanel. PENDING JW ... quick api hack for testing. Don't recreate the panel if it had been used Parameters: linkDay - the date used in the TodayPanel setLinkFormat protected void setLinkFormat(MessageFormat _linkFormat) Parameters: _linkFormat - the _linkFormat to set getLinkFormat protected MessageFormat getLinkFormat() Returns: the _linkFormat getLinkPanel public JPanel getLinkPanel() Return the panel that is used at the bottom of the popup. The default implementation shows a link that displays the current month. Returns: The currently installed link panel setLinkPanel public void setLinkPanel(JPanel linkPanel) Set the panel that will be used at the bottom of the popup. PENDING JW: why insist on JPanel? JComponent would be enough? Parameters: linkPanel - The new panel to install in the popup getEditor public JFormattedTextField getEditor() Returns the formatted text field used to edit the date selection. Clients should NOT use this method. It is provided to temporarily support the PLAF code. Returns: the formatted text field setEditor public void setEditor(JFormattedTextField editor) Sets the editor. The editor's editable and enabled properties are set the corresponding properties of the JXDatePicker. The default is created and set by the UI delegate. Clients should NOT use this method. It is provided to temporarily support the PLAF code. Parameters: editor - the formatted input. Throws: NullPointerException - if editor is null. See Also: getEditor() setComponentOrientation public void setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation orientation) Overrides: setComponentOrientation in class Component isEditValid public boolean isEditValid() Returns true if the current value being edited is valid. Returns: true if the current value being edited is valid. commitEdit public void commitEdit() throws ParseException Commits the editor's changes and notifies ActionListeners. Forces the current value to be taken from the AbstractFormatter and set as the current value. This has no effect if there is no current AbstractFormatter installed. Throws: ParseException - Throws parse exception if the date can not be parsed. cancelEdit public void cancelEdit() Cancels the editor's changes and notifies ActionListeners. setEditable public void setEditable(boolean value) Sets the editable property. If false, ...? The default value is true. Parameters: value - See Also: isEditable() isEditable public boolean isEditable() Returns the editable property. Returns: true if the picker is editable; false otherwise getFont public Font getFont() Returns the font that is associated with the editor of this date picker. Specified by: getFont in interface MenuContainer Overrides: getFont in class Component setFont public void setFont(Font font) Set the font for the editor associated with this date picker. Overrides: setFont in class JComponent setLightWeightPopupEnabled public void setLightWeightPopupEnabled(boolean aFlag) Sets the lightWeightPopupEnabled property, which provides a hint as to whether or not a lightweight Component should be used to contain the JXDatePicker, versus a heavyweight Component such as a Panel or a Window. The decision of lightweight versus heavyweight is ultimately up to the JXDatePicker. Lightweight windows are more efficient than heavyweight windows, but lightweight and heavyweight components do not mix well in a GUI. If your application mixes lightweight and heavyweight components, you should disable lightweight popups. The default value for the lightWeightPopupEnabled property is true, unless otherwise specified by the look and feel. Some look and feels always use heavyweight popups, no matter what the value of this property. See the article Mixing Heavy and Light Components on The Swing Connection This method fires a property changed event. Parameters: aFlag - if true, lightweight popups are desired isLightWeightPopupEnabled public boolean isLightWeightPopupEnabled() Gets the value of the lightWeightPopupEnabled property. Returns: the value of the lightWeightPopupEnabled property See Also: setLightWeightPopupEnabled(boolean) getBaseline public int getBaseline(int width, int height) Get the baseline for the specified component, or a value less than 0 if the baseline can not be determined. The baseline is measured from the top of the component. Overrides: getBaseline in class JComponent Parameters: width - Width of the component to determine baseline for. height - Height of the component to determine baseline for. Returns: baseline for the specified component addActionListener public void addActionListener(ActionListener l) Adds an ActionListener. The ActionListener will receive an ActionEvent when a selection has been made. Parameters: l - The ActionListener that is to be notified removeActionListener public void removeActionListener(ActionListener l) Removes an ActionListener. Parameters: l - The action listener to remove. getListeners public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class<T> listenerType) Overrides: getListeners in class JComponent fireActionPerformed protected void fireActionPerformed(String actionCommand) Fires an ActionEvent with the given actionCommand to all listeners. addPopupMenuListener public void addPopupMenuListener(PopupMenuListener l) Adds a PopupMenuListener. PENDING JW: the canceled method is never called due to internal interference in BasicDatePickerUI. Probably need to re-visit that. Parameters: l - the PopupMenuListener to add. removePopupMenuListener public void removePopupMenuListener(PopupMenuListener l) Removes a PopupMenuListener. Parameters: l - the PopupMenuListener to remove. getPopupMenuListeners public PopupMenuListener[] getPopupMenuListeners() Returns an array containing all PopupMenuListeners which are registered to this picker. Returns: an array containing all PopupMenuListeners which are registered to this picker, guaranteed to be never null.
