Hi,
Is there any plans to support alphanumeric date formats like dd-MMM-yyyy in the editor input box? Thanks.
Fred
Hi Fred,
There is no plans to support edit-mode format other than digits. However, while editor has no focus, you may set Format=Long and specify any kind of long-date pattern. To customize it you should use Culture of CurrentThread or CalendarLayout.Culture property (all settings are possible only in cs/vb codes). As example for DateTimeInfo operations, you may look at samples for WebDataInput controls related to custom culture.
Hi Viktor,
I think this thread would be the right place to post my question.
In our application we do set the culture info of the CalendarLayout and it works well after selecting a date from a dropdown and then moving the focus. The short date format we set is dd-MMM-yyyy to avoid confusion for our international customers. What still confuses our users is that before focus is moved the format appears to be dd/MM/yyyy and they see a date they selected as Jan 12, for example, as 12/01/2008, which they think is ambiguous and misleading.
Is there any workaround you can propose to control this format?
Sincerely,
Svetlana
