[ews.eclipse.technology.rap] Re: SWT DateTime

[Mark <m@xxxxx>]

Hi Ivan,
 Thanks for confirming what I thought I saw.

 Some dates need to have a null value until they are set or when they 
are removed.  For instance, if I have a form that I want to be used from 
X till Y but I don't know when Y is, then they Y date needs to be null. 
  There are plenty of other scenarios like this.

 I could put a check beside that datetime widget that enables/disables 
it. I am currentlly weighing the pro's (i can easily switch from RAP to 
RCP) and the con's (users will complain and binding will not be straight 
forward)
