here is my datefield:
<mx:DateField id="date"
formatString="DD-MM-YYYY" selectableRange="{DTselectableRange}"
change="handleChange()" editable="true" clear="dateCleared(event)"/>
i want to detect clear event, adobe ref say:
clear Event is dispatched when the user selects 'Clear' (or 'Delete') from the text context menu.
but dateCleared function in never called...I need it beacause I have to set selectedDate to null when user delete it...
Please help me...
I can confirm that mx.controls.DateField does not dispatch a clear
event when selecting "Delete" from the text content menu. I've also had no luck getting a clear
event to be dispatched for editable mx.controls.TextInput
and spark.components.TextInput
. Hmm....
What you can do is handle a change in the value of the control in your handleChange
event listener and set your selectedDate
value there.
Something like this:
private var selectedDate:Date;
private function handleChange(date:Date):void {
if (date == null) {
selectedDate = null;
}
// your existing handleChange code here
}
Also, I would change this:
<mx:DateField change="handleChange()" />
to this
<mx:DateField change="handleChange(DateField(event.target).selectedDate)" />
