Hi,

Woohoo!! Finally released the next generation of DateBocks (aka
DateBox) v2.0.0.

Just have seen the demo - nice :slight_smile:
Do you think it would be easy to adapt this for other languages, like
german? Would be cool!

Great work Nathaniel.

I suggest a small enhancement.
I’m working on a financial application where people usually calculate
something from the current date.
For example payment date is 15 days from now, I’m looking for all orders
in
last 30 days and so on.

How about to add extension to the entering process for example +15 will
be
15 day from now, -30 will be date 30 days before today.

Igor.

great job!!

I agree with the above suggestion (+15, -1, etc) This was used in an
old payroll system we worked on and I’ve never seen it used
elsewhere…

Jeff

That is a great idea. I will definately see what I can do to get that
in the next version!
