JCalendar getting date

Question

In my project I am using com.toedter.calendar.JCalendar class. But I do not know how can I get date when date is chosen.

JDateChooser and JXDatePicker met my need. There is a code that provides date when a date is chosen from JDateChooser.

JDateChooser picker=new JDateChooser();

picker.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
            setDate(picker.getDate());
        }
 });

Hi. I am not familiar with this class. But I have tried [SwingX](http://java.net/projects/swingx/) were is fantastic JXDatePicker. Which should do what you want. PS: Try to provide us with a link to your class then someone can take a look at it. — Boro, Apr 23 '11 at 09:47
Thanks a lot, I will check SwingX now. The JCalender Class javadoc :http://www.toedter.com/en/jcalendar/api/com/toedter/calendar/JCalendar.html — olyanren, Apr 23 '11 at 10:22

You definitely want addPropertyChangeListener(), but you need to check getNewValue(). There's a good example here.

+1 for a real solution not just an alternative as in my case :) – Boro Apr 24 '11 at 05:29

More correctly: ((Calendar) evt.getNewValue()).getTime() – gabor Aug 26 '14 at 12:36

Here you can see introduction to the JXDatePicker where are nice images showing its capability etc.

PS: Try to provide us with a link to your class then someone can take a look at it.

All the best, Boro.

Can you suggest a link? Something with a picture might be appealing. – trashgod Apr 23 '11 at 19:42
@trashgod thanks for pointing that out. I thought the link was there, my bad. Now there is link to SwingX library + some JXDatePicker intro which was helpful to me when I was starting using it. All good – Boro Apr 24 '11 at 05:27
Sweet! The screen shot is especially helpful for future reference. +1, btw. – trashgod Apr 24 '11 at 05:36

myDatChooser.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
                //some stuff
            }
        });

addChangeListener method does not exist in JCalendar class – olyanren Apr 23 '11 at 16:30

but that's long time and I used sourceCode (and there I must changed Focus, i18, add Fore/BackGround, disabled Color and put something correctly to the EDT) – mKorbel Apr 23 '11 at 20:44

JCalendar cal = new JCalendar();
JLabel label = new JLabel("label");
label.setText(cal.getDate().toString());
      cal.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {
          @Override
          public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
              label.setText(cal.getDate().toString());
          }
      });

Have not used it myself, but according the javadoc:

http://www.toedter.com/en/jcalendar/api/com/toedter/calendar/JCalendar.html

there seems to be a getDate() method. Does not this work?
