DateTime widget with localization [message #909400]

I am using the DateTime widget to display time. Is there a way to have it show AM/PM for certain locales, and automatically adjust to 24 hour time format for other locales? If not, how can I use the DateTime widget to show AM/PM? I keep getting a 24 hour time ticker.

I've tried using SWT.SHORT style, but this just gets rid of the seconds from the 24 hour time format.

Regards,

George

Hi,
no... currently it's not possible to show AM/PM on DateTime widget (I
think it's not possible in SWT DateTime widget too). Please open an
enhancement request if you really need it.
Best,
Ivan

Thanks for the reply Ivan.

I'm guessing Nebula's CDateTime widget is not supported by RAP?

Is there any alternative widgets or means to display Time in a localized manner? Any ideas I can work with?
