let's say i have two datebox, startDateBox and endDateBox, first i put value inside startDateBox (2/Jan/2013), then i put second value inside endDateBox, now my question is, how to set validation so that endDatebox can't set value before 2/Jan/2013

example :

startDateBox = 2/Jan/2013 endDateBox = can't set value before 2/Jan/2013

btw, sorry for my english

Thanks,

Klepon

Did you consider that the end date could be entered first? And that the fields can be edited again in any order? I also tried something similar and ended up with multiple error boxes. Sometimes it was not even possible to get rid of them again.

If you are using MVVM then below example will be helpful for you.

<zk> <window border="normal" title="hello" apply="org.zkoss.bind.BindComposer" viewmodel="@id('vm') @init('pkg$.DateValidationViewModel')">

        <datebox value="@bind(vm.beginDate)" />

        <datebox value="@bind(vm.endDate)" />

        <button id="btn" label="Validate"
            onClick="@command('validate')" />
    </window>
</zk>

DateValidationViewModel.java

import org.zkoss.zk.ui.*;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.*;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.*;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.ext.*;
import org.zkoss.zk.au.*;
import org.zkoss.zk.au.out.*;
import java.sql.Timestamp;
import org.zkoss.zul.*;
import org.zkoss.bind.annotation.Command;
import org.zkoss.bind.annotation.NotifyChange;

public class DateValidationViewModel extends GenericForwardComposer {

    private Timestamp beginDate;
    private Timestamp endDate;

    public void doAfterCompose(Component comp) throws Exception {
        super.doAfterCompose(comp);
    }

    @Command
    @NotifyChange("*")
    public void validate() {
         if (beginDate != null && endDate != null && endDate.compareTo(beginDate) < 0) {
            endDate = null;
            Messagebox.show("End Date can not be less than begin date.");
        }
    }

    public Timestamp getBeginDate() {
        return beginDate;
    }

    public void setBeginDate(Timestamp beginDate) {
        this.beginDate = beginDate;
    }

    public Timestamp getEndDate() {
        return endDate;
    }

    public void setEndDate(Timestamp endDate) {
        this.endDate = endDate;
    }
}

I have created same example in Fiddle also http://zkfiddle.org/sample/77vhl8/2-Date-Validation#source-2

it's manually validate it's not dynamically we need dynamically validate with a small code added with zk component.

If you are using MVVM, then I would use a form validator, There is an example in ZK Demo which shows how to do that.
