    - #### setDefaultProperties

          public static void setDefaultProperties(MiniDateRangeItem miniDateRangeItemProperties)

      Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties of the class instance passed to this function. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

      Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

      Parameters:
        `miniDateRangeItemProperties` - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
      See Also:
        `SGWTProperties`

    - #### getFromDate

          public java.util.Date getFromDate()

      Initial value for the "from" date.
      Returns:
        java.util.Date

    - #### setToDate

          public void setToDate(java.util.Date toDate)

      Initial value for the "to" date. Sets the `toDate` for this DateRangeItem.
      Parameters:
        `toDate` - the date at which this item should end it's range. Default value is today

    - #### getToDate

    - #### setCriterionGetter

          public void setCriterionGetter(FormItemCriterionGetter getter)

      The default `getCriterion()` implementation returns the Criterion entered in the fields shown in the `rangeDialog`.

      If both dates are entered, a Criterion with an "and" `operator` and both "greaterOrEqual" and "lessOrEqual" sub-criteria will be returned. If either date is omitted, only the "greaterOrEqual" (from date) or "lessOrEqual" (to date) Criterion is returned.

      Overrides:
        `setCriterionGetter` in class `FormItem`
      Parameters:
        `getter` - provides a method to get a criterion object based on this field's current edited value(s).
