Question

I want a datepicker in my jframe. I am using JXDatePicker from SwingX, but I have trouble to find out how it works, the datepicker doesnt show.

    private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

        JXDatePicker picker = new JXDatePicker();

jLabel2.setText(picker.getDate().toString());
    }

what I would like is for the picker to show when on actionperformed of a button and then write the seledted date in a jlabel. Any Ideas?

JXDatePicker is designed as a component that combines a button, an editable field and a JXMonthView component. The user can select a date from the calendar component, which appears when the button is pressed.

So, don’t forget to add your picker to the container, ie:

panel.add(picker);

Here is an example.
