Form with DateField in Window

Hi,
In DefaultFieldFactory of my Form I have a DateField field:

public Field createField(Item item, Object propertyId, Component uiContext) {
        final Field f = super.createField(item,  propertyId, uiContext);
        if (f != null) {
            if (f instanceof TextField) {
                TextField tf = (TextField) f;
                tf.setWidth("100%");
                tf.setNullRepresentation("");
            }
            if (propertyId.equals("tmsStart")) {
                ((DateField) f).setResolution(DateField.RESOLUTION_MIN);
                f.setCaption("start");
            }
           //other fields ...
        }
        return f;
	}

When I add the Form component to the main window, DateFiled is correctly displayed with the calendar. If I add the Form to a subwindow, the DateField is displayed as a TextField, without calendar.
How can I display a DateField with calendar inside a Window?
Thanks, Francesco

Right now have the same problem, check by debug step by step, all works correct, no mistakes, but in subwindow datefield is empty. Any suggest, what it can be?

It seems I solve my problem, now all works fine.

In this part I collect all data to my class

QQQ qqq = new qqq();
qqq.setValidFrom(validFrom);
getWindow().addWindow(buildSubWindow(qqq));

Here i create new subwindow

private Window buildSubWindow(QQQ qqq) {
Window subwindow = new Window("A subwindow");
subwindow.setHeight("450px");
subwindow.setWidth("350px");
subwindow.addComponent(buildFormEditor(qqq));
subwindow.setModal(true);
return subwindow;
}

here create form

Panel panel = new Panel();
BeanItem personItem = new BeanItem(qqq);
formEditor = new Form();
formEditor.setFormFieldFactory(new FormFieldFactory(){

@Override
public Field createField(Item item, Object propertyId, Component uiContext) {

String pid = (String) propertyId;
if(pid.equals("validFrom"))
{
DateField dateField = new DateField("Birth date");
dateField.setDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
return dateField;
}
return null;
}
});
formEditor.setItemDataSource(personItem);
panel.addComponent(formEditor);

Hope this will help you.
