Use the inlineDatePicker component with the messageDateField component to allow users to quickly select a date value without navigating to a secondary window. The inlineDatePicker component must be on the same page as the messageDateField component.
The inlineDatePicker component displays an inline date picker (i.e., on the same page that contains the messageDateField) as a dropdown box and a calendar. A user can choose the month to display by using the left and right arrow browse buttons next to the dropdown box, or by selecting the month from the dropdown box. The first and last month that are available for selection are specified by the minValue and maxValue attributes, respectively.
When a user selects a date directly from the inlineDatePicker, the currently focused messageDateField will be updated with the selected date. For a date field to be updated in response to selection changes in an inlineDatePicker, set the pickerId attribute of the messageDateField to the id of the associated inlineDatePicker.
Note that partial page rendering is used to update the InlineDatePicker component as the user navigates between months. In environments where partial page rendering is not supported, ADF UIX will not display the inlineDatePicker component.
