Formatting Date Selection widgets for Flash Mode
A Date Selection widget is an interactive calendar selector that allows you to select which dates you want to see data about in a document. For more information, see Creating Date Selection widgets.
You can format the following aspects of a Date Selection widget:
-
The background color of the calendar.
-
The border color of the calendar.
-
The color displayed when a user rolls over a date on the calendar.
-
The color displayed when a user chooses a date on the calendar.
-
The day to display as the first day of the week on the calendar.
-
Whether the current date is highlighted.
-
The font of different areas in the calendar. Font properties include type, size, color, italic, and bold. You can format the following areas of the calendar differently:
-
Month+Year (the calendar header)
-
Day (the names of the days)
-
Day number (the date)
These formatting options are applied when the Date Selection widget is displayed as a widget. A Date Selection widget always displays in Flash Mode as a widget. When it is not displayed as a widget, how the widget displays is determined by how it was created:
-
If the Date Selection widget was created as a widget, it can be hidden or displayed as a Grid/Graph, a placeholder, or a widget. For directions and examples, see Determining how widgets are displayed.
-
If the Date Selection widget was created as a selector, it is displayed using the DHTML style and formatting. For information and instructions, see Defining selectors and Formatting selectors.
The widget can be displayed as an interactive widget (not as a placeholder, empty space, or a Grid/Graph) in Express Mode in MicroStrategy Web, which allows a preview of how these changes will affect the widget. These changes cannot be saved, however. For instructions for displaying the widget in various modes, see Determining how widgets are displayed.
