Date field in my WD4A

Question

Hi all,
I am developing an application in WD4A, i am developing an application which is nothing but a time and expenses entry, user selects the starting date fo a week which is monday always,
after selecting the starting date, i have a table with 7 columns with names monday,tuesday....saturday,sunday and these names should take the dates accordingly based on the selected starting date, after which user fills in the time and expenses table.
how do i start with it, can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gerad,
You can have a context node CTX_WEEK with 7 attributes under it.
=>CTX_WEEK
    -MON
    -TUE
    -WED
    -THU
    -FRI
    -SAT
    -SUN
Create an InputField on the view with the property 'value' bound to an attribute in the Context whose type is 'DATS'.
In the OnEnter event of the InputField, create an action handler such that the dates are calculated are bound to the seven attributes in the context.
In the table, use these seven as the columns (rather as column headers)
Now, every time the user selects the date and hits the enter key, the calculated dates will be displayed on the headers.
(If you do not want the user to hit enter everytime, you can have a button tht says fetch or something whose action handler can have the reqd coding. Basically, you need a proper place, ideally an event handler, to calculate the dates for the seven days)
