che non fa altro che aprire un calendario al click del bottone ed inserire nella jtextField la data selezionata. io vorrei aggiungerla ad un mio pannello.
Ho fatto cosi:
codice:
private JDateChooser pannelloData= new JDateChooser();
.
.
.
miopannello.add(pannelloData);
pannelloData.setVisible(yrue);
ma non funziona come mai?
