Solution: dialogSelectCtrl method

Go to the class HRMAbsenceStatusListPrint, which is the class related to the Absence status report used in this example.

Add a new method called dialogSelectCtrl, which looks like this:

public void dialogSelectCtrl() 

{ 

    ;
 
    super();

    // get the value entered by the 
    // end-user for the startDate
    startDate = dialogStartDate.value();
 
    // only set the a value if the endDate 
    // doesn’t have a value yet
    if(startDate && !dialogEndDate.value())
    {
        // set automatically the endDate equal to the end
        // of the month of the entered value by the end-user
        dialogEndDate.value(EndMth(startDate));
    }

}

Edit the existing dialog method and add following line just before the return dialog line to call the logic implemented in the dialogSelectCtrl method:

public Object dialog()
{
    // call the dialogSelectCtrl method when a control is selected
    dialog.allowUpdateOnSelectCtrl(true);
    return dialog;
}
