DateField doesn't fire CHANGE event when using date picker

[jsciuba]

Hi,

I think i found a bug in DateField. I noticed that "Change" event is not fired when date is selected using calendar/date picker widget. Could you please let me know if it is expected behaviour and i should handle some other event or that is an error.

The change event only fires when you blur the field. This is in common with the default browser change event. Also all other fields behave like this. We maybe can add another event to fit your needs. We already did the same for combobox.

I will move this thread to the bugs forum.

That is right but ChangeEvent is not fired onblur as well. When you select date using datePicker then FieldDate gets focus and then when you click outside (blur) the field ChangeEvent is not fired. I know this happens because native events are not fired when change is result of java script action but it would be great to modify that behaviour.

Thanks for clarifiying. We will update the thread once we have a solution ready.

I was in the process of trying to figure out why DateField validation didn't work anymore. I guess this thread solves that.

At any rate, I think it did work with

    dateFrom.addValueChangeHandler(new ValueChangeHandler<Date>() {
        @Override
        public void onValueChange(ValueChangeEvent<Date> event) {
             ...
        }
    });

in earlier development versions. But I can be mistaken.

I can trigger the event by changing the focus to a second DateField.

I do not believe this bug was fixed in 3.0.1. Looking at:

The birthday field fires the value change event where it should including when using the date picker.

Is anyone still seeing this issue?

I had the same issue. I changed my code to

dateField.getDatePicker().addValueChangeHandler()

and it works.
