The DateNavigator UI element enables users to display and enter dates. Its features include the ability to navigate in a calendar and choose a day, month, year, or range of dates. This element should be used to help users to input dates in an appropriate format.
You can use the DateNavigatorLegend and the DateNavigatorMarking elements to add a legend for the description of selected data to the DateNavigator UI element. This enables you to provide the user with information on specific data that is assigned to a category. For example, events in the calendar can be highlighted in a different color and each event can be described with agenda, time, and location.
Example of the Visual Display
To enable the development of accessible applications, the accessibilityDescription property is checked during the syntax check if the tooltip property is not set.
The accessibilityDescription property applies to the entire DateNavigator and is read out by the screen readers if the DateNavigator itself is focused on. The tooltip is displayed for each day, except if this day has a marking and this contains a filled tooltip.
