Hi,

Is it possible to change the date format in DateTime Widget ? When I first
try it, the format is MM/dd/yyyy, I want to change it into dd/MM/yyyy.

Regards,

Setya

Hi Setya,

the format of date in DateTime widget depends on client (browser) locale
(language). If the browser content language is en-US the format will be
MM/dd/yyyy, but if it is German (de-de) for example, the format will be
dd/MM/yyyy. To check this you can set in Firefox your preferred language
in Options -> Content -> Languages and see the result. Anyway, there is
no explicitly way to set to format if DateTime widget. This is the same
in SWT.

Best,
Ivan

Use RWT#getLocale() to query the currently used locale and
RWT#setLocale() to alter it.
The date time widget uses this information to display date and time
information.

Please try with code:

public class LocaleConfig {
public static final String LOCALE_COUNTRY_DEFAULT = "VN";

public static void setDefaultLocale() {
Locale locale = RWT.getLocale();
if (LOCALE_COUNTRY_DEFAULT.equals(locale.getCountry())) {
return;
}
Locale defaultLocale = null;
Locale[] locales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();

for (Locale loc : locales) {
if (LOCALE_COUNTRY_DEFAULT.equals(loc.getCountry())) {
defaultLocale = loc;
break;
}
}
if (defaultLocale != null) {
RWT.setLocale(defaultLocale);
}
}

}
