[EMF Forms] how to localize the built in controls (e.g. the Date Renderer)? [message #1714902] Tue, 17 November 2015 10:52 Go to next message

Hi,

what would be the best approach to localize build in controls, especially the Date Renderer/Display?

Currently there is an english date and time format (my system return de_de as default locale) and when no date is set it displays the english text from the constant DateTimeControl_NoDateSetClickToSetDate from org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.core.swt/OSGI-INF/l10n/bundle.properties.

I tried making a fragment to this plugin with a Bundle-Localization directive in the MANIFEST.MF and providing a localized bundle_de.properties file.

Even if that would work out somehow the dateformat that is used would still be english.

Any hints on how to customize that?

BTW: currently I'm not using a custom view model, since the default rendering is ok.

Thanks.

Greets, Peter

Hi Peter,
The DateTimeWidget of SWT doesn't support locales, see Bug .
We have a renderer for the XMLGregorianDate which uses a text field in order to display the date, you could use this. An example is in the MakeItHappenModel (User -> dateOfBirth)
We would also accept a contribution with an implementation of the date renderer based on a text field.

Cheers,
Eugen

After trying XMLGregorianDate i now see the difference. I think that will work for my simple Use Case.
Thanks for the pointing that out!
