A

protoDateDurationTextPicker

example

The

protoRepeatDateDurationTextPicker

is a label picker

with a text representation of a range of dates. When the user taps the
picker, a

protoDateIntervalPopup

is displayed, which allows the

user to specify a different range. This proto differs from the

protoDateDurationTextPicker

in that the

protoRepeatDateDurationDatePicker

presents choices that are

appropriate for the

repeatType

slot, and the duration displayed when the user

taps a duration or stop date is given in units of the

repeatType

. Otherwise, it

looks like the protoDateDurationTextPicker and popup shown in Appendix
Figure 6-14. For information about the slots and methods for this picker,
see “protoRepeatDateDurationTextPicker” (page 5-43) in Newton Programmer’s
Reference
.

The

protoDateNTimeTextPicker

is a label picker with a text

representation of a date and time. When the user taps the picker, a

protoDateNTimePopup

is displayed, which allows the user to specify a

different date and time. For information about the slots and methods for this
picker, see “protoDateNTimeTextPicker” (page 5-46) in Newton Programmer’s
Reference
. Figure 6-15 shows an example of a

protoDateNTimeTextPicker

.
