PUBLIC SECTION.
INTERFACES z2ui5_if_app.
DATA selected_date TYPE string.
" The calendar's OWN selection, as the model owns it. selectedDates is a
" bindable aggregation of sap.ui.unified.DateRange, exactly like the
" disabledDates app 220 binds - so the highlight is expressible after all,
" and handleSelectToday's removeAllSelectedDates + addSelectedDate(today)
" becomes "replace the one row". The deviation here used to say the
" highlight could not be moved because addSelectedDate takes a DateRange
" CONTROL no wire can construct: true of the METHOD, and beside the point,
" since the aggregation never needed the method. Every click round-trips
" through CAL_SELECT, so the model is the source of truth and the control's
" own click-selection is re-stated rather than fought.
