Datepicker localized display format

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We are using a Datepicker popup in our application.  The header is displayed as "<day> <month> <year>"

We also have a localized Japanese version.  This correctly displays the month name in Japanese,  however our testers would like the date to be displayed in the locally prefered format of "<year> <month> <day>"

Is this possible in v9.81?  If not,  is it possible in any newer releases?  I've looked in the help and can't see anything,  so I suspect the answer to the first part is "no"!

Many thanks.

	But the answer is YES - under version 13.2 you need to set DateTimePicker.Format = 3 (xtpPickerCustom) and DateTimePicker.CustomFormat = any format string which follows standard DTM_SETFORMAT rules - e.g. see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921603.aspx
