DateBox format

[3xM]

hi,

i have trouble using DateBox. date format in text box after i choose date from calendar is wrong.
but, not always. if i set format to dd/mm/yy, or mm/dd/yy, its ok.

the problem is when i use MMM for Jul or MMMM for July; also EEE for day of week.

date is displayed fine before i choose another from calendar. for example:

db.setFormat("EEE, MMM d, ''yy"); - and its displayed ok, like this: Sun, Jul 22, '12

after i choose a date it is displayed like this: EEE, DecemberDec 22, ''12


i also noticed that any character after the last year digit is removed:

db.setFormat("dd.mm.yyyy."); displayed as 22.07.2012.
after selecting date it is: 22.07.2012

i looked at DateBoxBase source and it looks like setValue() method works fine, it is called from setFormat().
but, it is not called when date is selected from calendar! i could not find what method sets value of TextBox after user select date.

Umm...

Maybe It's format of GWT and bootstrap-datepicker difference .

Could you post a issue to our github issues?

But it may be next release.

looks like the bootstrap-datepicker behavior...

in future, my plans are to just apply the styles in the GWT-datepicker.. but, I don't know when I'll have time for this, neither if it will work.

But, anyway, you can test it with the bootstrap-datepicker, and open a issue in their github project if it occurs.

yes, you're right. it is bootstrap-datepicker behaivour.

"the date format: combination of d, dd, m, mm, yy, yyy" - i tried to use MMM, MMMM, EEE

[Carlos Alexandro Becker]

yep, possibly because of the JavaScript Date parser... but not sure..

Simply applying styles to GWT's datepicker would lose functionality like decade and year views. The decade view is particularly useful for a date of birth field, with gwt's date picker one has to scroll back through several months/years.
