Datepicker Representation

« Accessibility XForms Support Page

Summary

A datepicker is similar to a combobox. It consists of a text field for direct user input next to a button that when activated displays a calendar widget that the user can also interact with. The datepicker control is used to display or edit a calendar date in the XForms input element (see the datepicker section of the input documentation).
