Re: [riena-dev] DateTextFormat, DecimalTextFormat and I18n
|
Hi ekke,
good questions. Here is an overview of the current behavior (I'll
clarify this in the javadoc as well):
1. DateTextRidget - uses whatever the developer specifies with
setFormat("..."). See class-javadoc of SegmentedString for details.
2. DecimalTextRidget, NumericTextRidget - uses the decimal/grouping
separators for the current locale (=user-specific). Currently there is
no way to change that. If you need to change it (=data-specific),
please open a bugzilla for this.
3. DateTimeRidget - uses the locale settings from the OS (ex. Vista:
Control Panel (classic) > Regional and Language Settings).
Unfortunately the SWT DateTime control only allows choosing a SHORT /
MEDIUM / LONG format. It does not have API for changing the format to
another locale.
Hope this helps,
Elias.
