如何在JFXtras的LocalDatePicker中修复多个选择模式？ （它在同一包中的CalendarPicker中工作）

Question

I'm making a JavaFX program for which I would like to use the new Time API. I wanted to use the LocalDatePicker provided in the JFXtras library which would allow users to select multiple localdate objects and would streamline the program's handling of selected objects (as opposed to the similar CalendarPicker in the same library which uses the older date API).

I imported the custom JFXtras controls into JavaFX scene builder, and while the "multiple" selection mode works very well for the JFXtras CalendarPicker control, the same functionality seems broken in the LocalDatePicker control.

Multiple/Range selection does not work in either the preview feature of scene builder, in a compiled FXML/controller file generated in Netbeans, and when simply added to a JavaFX scene, while in all those cases the CalendarPicker control does work. which leads me to believe it is a problem with the control itself and not my implementation. I checked the respective classes in the library and the code handling modeProperty seems identical.

Thing is, the sample program including all controls on the JFXtras page ( http://jfxtras.org/resources/java/jfxtras-labs-samples-8.0-r4-SNAPSHOT-shadow.jar ) has a multiple selection working for the LocalDatePicker control.

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry if it's an easy fix, I'm pretty new to Java (and JavaFX)

Thanks

Oh yes. This was my fault. Even though there was code to sync the mode value between LocalDatePicker and CalendarPicker, I forgot to set the initial value. In the tests the value is set after the control is visible and then the sync code kicks in. Please try 8.0-r4-SNAPSHOT. Thanks for reporting.
