GWT DatePicker, scroll by year

Question

I might be missing something, but the DatePicker in GWT (I'm using version 2.0.3) doesn't give you the possibility to scroll back and forth by year, only month. Am I missing something? I know there's an external lib (code.google.com/p/gwt-datepicker/) I can use, but I'd like to avoid importing yet another 3rd party lib, when you should be able to do this in the DatePicker provided in GWT.

Answer 1

You'll need to create a DatePicker subclass that uses your own implementation of MonthSelector.

There's a recent thread on the GWT Google Group on this very topic, with example code:
