Hey Mark,
It sounds like you should have been at PTC-User. I think this was one of
the topics covered. 😉
Seriously, see some sample code here (uses JScript instead of ACL, to take
advantage of ActiveX events):
http://adepters.org/resources/example-code/xui/xui-activex-calendar/
This is based on code originally shared by John Dreystadt and other
Arbortext folks. There's more about ActiveX samples in the Customizer's
Guide on pg. 145 or PDF pg. 157 (this using the old 5.2 way of viewing the
documentation).
Using ACL, I'm not sure how you detect the change to your date picker, but
what happens when you do this:
dltitem_get_value($dlg, dtpVerified)
Let us know how it goes,
Jason

Getting the value from an ActiveX control in XUI
Adepters,
I have a dialog that I have created in XUI with an ActiveX Control. A
Date Time Picker.
<activex id="dtpVerified" progid="MSComCtl2.DTPicker"></activex>
I'm trying to find the right method in ACL to get the value I have picked
in the control. I have used the following methods but they all return 0
when the value I really what is the date (06/15/2007).
dlgitem_get_value($dlg, 'dtpUpdated');
dlgitem_get_value($dlg, 'dtpUpdated.Value');
dlgitem_get($dlg, 'dtpVerified', 'VALUE');
dlgitem_get_appdata(($dlg, 'dtpUpdated');
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Mark Cole
