In .net's native DateTimePicker, you could format the date time as M/d/yyyy so for example '2008,January 1st' could be formated as 1/1/2008.
But in UltraDateTimeEditor, it seems that we could only assgin a MaskInput in which the day and month must be 'dd' or 'mm', so the day and month will always be showed as 2 digits. '2008,January 1st' will be formated as 01/01/2008.
Is there any workaround to let the display text show 1 digit for day and month?
I don't think this is possible with DateTimeEditor. You might want to look at the UltraCalendarCombo control, though. This control is a much nicer editor for dates and doesn't use masks, so it's more flexible. I think it can handle word entry.
