How to set the format for a DateBox?

[Stevko]

I've setup DateTimeFormat and TimeZone objects within my application
based on user preferences.

com.google.gwt.i18n.client.DateTimeFormat
com.google.gwt.i18n.client.TimeZone


How do I set the format for a DateBox ?

DateBox.Format does not allow for the setting of a custom format.

Yes it does:

myDateBox.setFormat(new DateBox.DefaultFormat
(DateTimeFormat.getFormat("EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy")));

or you could use your own custom Datebox.Format implementation:

myDateBox.setFormat(new MyCustomDateBoxFormat());

Thanks Thomas,
I missed that ctor when looking at the interface spec.

The final syntax is a bit twisted...

myDateBox.setFormat( new DateBox.DefaultFormat( myDateTimeFormat ) );

Care to guess what timezone GWT's java.util.Date and DateBox are
using?
Perhaps the browser's timezone, server's timezone, GMT, or something
else?

Dates are in the client (browser) timezone.

Cool! Thanks again for the valuable info.
