Get long string from FormDateControl?

Hi,

I have a FormDateControl where the user is going to enter a 40-50 characters long string. (The form runs on a PDA and the value comes from a scanned bar code.)

The entered string has only numbers (0-9) in it.

Is it possible for me to get the long string from the FormDateControl in the method "modified"?

At the moment I have this code, that doesn't put the entered value in my variable inputString:

inputString = this.valueStr();
inputString = this.toString();

Can anyone help me?

Best regards,

Morten

40-50 characters long string isn't a date and you can't use FormDateControl. You can use a StringEditControl and then convert the value from string to date.
