Disable Date Picker In Oracle APEX

April 12, 2017Posted inAPEX

We will disable the date picker because sometimes we don’t need to allow editing (due to some privilege ).

The approach is using JQuery:
Create a JavaScript function :

Copy Code
function disableDatePicker() {
 $('.hasDatepicker').each(function () {
  $(this).addClass('apex_disabled').next('button').addClass('apex_disabled');
 });
}

Since you run this function on page (Execute on page load OR any event where you want ) all the date pickers will be disabled.

Your Item becomes Disabled.

If You Want only one item as per requirement:

Create a JavaScript function:

Copy Code
function disableDatePicker(p_this) {
 $('#' + p_this).addClass('apex_disabled').next('button').addClass('apex_disabled');
}


While calling this function pass the item Name in the function

disableDatePicker('P_DATE');

All set to play with disable.
