@Entry
@Component
struct DatePickerDialogExample {
  selectedDate: Date = new Date("2010-1-1")

  build() {
    Column() {
      Button("DatePickerDialog")
        .margin(20)
        .onClick(() => {

            selected: this.selectedDate,
            onAccept: (value: DatePickerResult) => {
              // Use the setFullYear method to set the date when the OK button is touched. In this way, when the date picker dialog box is displayed again, the selected date is the date last confirmed.
              this.selectedDate.setFullYear(value.year, value.month, value.day)
              console.info("DatePickerDialog:onAccept()" + JSON.stringify(value))
