Is WebDateTimeEdit prepared to work with Japanese characteres?
If i set my keyboard to Japanese layout and try type in control, the first problem is that the mask doesn't appear, the other problem is if i try type a date like "02/02/1985" when i put the cursor out of the control, the date automatically changes to "02/01/1985".
Some dates work fine, but other have a similar problems, like "12/01/1990" changes to "12/01/0990".
Dates that work fine: "01/02/2006", "12/03/2001"
Thanks in advance

Below we have a workaround for the problem (by Infragistics support)
The WebDateTimeEditor control accepts 2 bytes characters and when Japan IME is on and set to “Hiragana”, it will have a feature for composition(conversion?) which users could type Hiragana (like “あさ”) and convert to Japanese Kanji( like ”朝”). Dashed underline appears if this composition hasn’t been finalized. My suggestion for Mask appearance problem is set CSS which disables IME when WebDateTimeEditor gets focus. This prevents Japanese composition input which breaks mask settings. The sample code is the following
// header<head runat="server">
<style type="text/css">.no-IME{ ime-mode:disabled;}</style>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
From what I remember about WebDateEdit, its going to be based off the CurrentCulture of the page, so just changing the keyboard probably won't work.
I would work with Developer Support on this issue.
