public class CalendarButton
extends javax.swing.JButton
implements java.awt.event.ActionListener

CalendarButton provides a simple mechanism for the user to bind a date chooser popup to a text component. Whenever the button is pressed a popup appears below a specified text component, and displays a CalenderBean control.

example:

 JTextField dateField = new JTextField("14.01.1971   ");
 CalendarButton dateButton = new CalendarButton();
 dateButton.setText("...");
 dateButton.setTextComponent(dateField);
 dateButton.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(20, dateField.getPreferredSize().height));
 JFrame frame = new JFrame();
 frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
 frame.getContentPane().add(dateField);
 frame.getContentPane().add(dateButton);
 frame.pack();
 frame.setVisible(true);
