How to change the default time in datebox popup?

[former_member689957]

I am using Datebox in my zkoss application for getting a date from the user. Currently, I am having a requirement that when user clicks on the datebox for the first time (please note that initially no value is set to the datebox), the datebox pop up which opens up should have the default time set to '00:00' instead of the current time. I could not find any API in the 'org.zkoss.zul.Datebox' class which could be used for modifying the default time of its timebox component. I tried customizing the zk datebox too but in vain, absolutely clueless of where and how to insert an API to change the initial time of the associated timebox. Kindly help.

Hi Bijan,

You might have to write/update custom js to set the time as 00:00. Currently it is done as below in web/webroot/cockpit/commonCSA.zul ///////////////////////////////////// // ZK Datebox fix

                 zk.parseDate = function (txt, fmt, strict) {
                     if (!fmt) fmt = "yyyy/MM/dd";

                         d = val.getDate(),
                         hr = val.getHours(),
                         min = val.getMinutes(),
                         sec = val.getSeconds(),
                         aa = fmt.indexOf('a'),
                         hh = fmt.indexOf('h'),
                         KK = fmt.indexOf('K'),
                         hasAM = aa > -1,
                         hasHour1 = hasAM ? hh > -1 || KK > -1 : false,
