setEndDate() in smartgwt

I have a requirement to prevent the user from selecting date which is greater than current date. I tried to enforce it by setting setEndDate(new Date()) but it didn't work.

DateItem dateItem = new DateItem();  

dateItem.setTitle("Date"); 
dateItem.setName("dateValue");
dateItem.setUseTextField(true);

TextItem textItem = new TextItem();
textItem.setAttribute("readOnly", true);

dateItem.setAttribute("textFieldProperties", textItem); 
dateItem.setDisabled(true);
dateItem.setRequiredMessage("Please select a valid Date");
dateItem.setEndDate(new Date());

Even now I am able to select dates 19/5/2011, 20/5/2011 and so on.

Solution

  • Well according to the documentation, dateItem.setStartDate() or dateItem.setEndDate() does not prevent the user to select an invalid date. You may read it from here.

    Hope this helps you.
