Date & Time Editors

					-------------------



Description:

-----------

These protos are for use with date and time data entry. There are two

floating view protos. One is for date only entry and the other is for

date and time entry. Both of these protos are based on a third proto

which is used to control the calendar.



The other protos included I pulled from on of my programs so that you 

can see how to interface with the date/time picker proto. Actually,

I changed the date and time protos to use my protos so that I could

have floating date editors and the buttons are sized correctly.





Date Editor protos

------------------



	protoDateEditorInputLine - popups open the date editor when the label is

tapped. Does most everything for you. You will need to set "Date" in the

viewSetupFormScript to the intenal date to show. Assumes that you have the

protoDatePickerPicker or the protoDateTimePicker named "dateTimePicker". 





	protoDatePicker - (internally used for next 2 protos) 



	protoDatePickerPicker - displays the calendar with the a "Set" and

"Today" button.

		Messages that you send to view:

			:OpenMe() message to open floater.

					// params are:

					//		the view that gets the PickedDate message, 

					//		the default date to show, and 

					//		the title for the date picker view

			:Update() message to update floater 

					// params are:

					//		the new view that gets the PickedDate message, 

					//		the new date to show, and 

					//		the new title for the date picker view

		Messages sent from view:

			:PickedDate() - send you what date the user had selected when

"Set" was tapped.

					// params are:

					//		the date in Newton internal format 



	protoDateTimePicker - displays the calendar and a clock with the a "Set"

and "Today/Now" button.

		Messages that you send to view:

			SAME AS FOR protoDatePickerPicker

		Messages that you receive from view:

			SAME AS FOR protoDatePickerPicker





	protoAdjustoButton - from the proto section of the PIE samples. Makes

your buttons comply with the user interface guidelines for size and spacing.



	protoFloatDragNGo - a protoFloatNGo with the ability to be dragged if

the tap is within 10 pixels of the edge. It sets a bunch of things. It is

a center horizontal/vertical justified floater with a matte boarder that

is clickable.

I uploaded the protoDateTimePicker, protoDatePicker, and

protoDatePickerPicker with some modifications that I have made to them, but

Allan deserves all the credit for creating them and making them available for

me to make available for you.



I'm uploading the protoAdjustoButton so that you don't need to go looking

thru the samples to find it.



I'm uploading 2 of my own protos protoLabelDateEditorInputLine and
