joredva,

The datebox is supposed to accept letters and numbers based on the date format you allow them to enter. So while I'm not sure you can actually stop them from keying in numbers and letters (without writing some javascript) you CAN throw an error message if they don't enter the format you want. For example, if you wanted the user to only enter in a format of mm/dd/yyyy (no letters), then simply configure your <datebox> like this:

<datebox format="MM/dd/yyyy"/>

Hope that helps,

Todd

joredva,

Which version of ZK are you running? In ZK 5.0.5, this code works fine:

<zk>
	<datebox id="dtbFFin"/>
	<zscript>
		dtbFFin.setFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
	</zscript>
</zk>

If that doesn't work for you, try using a custom constraint. You'll have more control that way.
