B4J Question DataPicker: Problem with DateFormat?

[Gabino A. de la Gala]

Defining the date format as "dd/MM/yy" works as the input value for the DatePicker, but when you select the desired date on the calendar, the value it returns is always in the format MM/dd/yy regardless of whether You have previously changed it.

Please upload a small example that reproduces it.

Is the original CustomElements example, only with DateFormat added.

Public Sub Initialize
DateTime.DateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
End Sub

In index.html (Objects -> www) :

    <script>
    //connect to the web socket when the page is ready.
    $( document ).ready(function() {
        //set the date picker and also bind the event.
        $("#datepicker").datepicker({
            onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
                //raise the event.
                b4j_raiseEvent(this.id + "_select", {});
            },
            showButtonPanel: true,
            dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy"
        });
        b4j_connect("/datepicker/ws");
    });
    </script>

Change dateformat to dd/mm/yy

Change dateformat to dd/mm/yy

Thanks.

Solved and working but with a little "trick."

To work correctly, and the date format is the same in the input as in the output, in the B4J code it must be defined as follows:

Public Sub Initialize
    DateTime.DateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
End Sub

While in the html part, the format has to be:

dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy"
