OK, I've made a modified version more suitable for MXML and would love
to get feedback from everyone. Ideally I would be able to bind a field
or label directly to the formatted output and would not require a
click to 'reset' the field that is bound to the formatted value. How
would I accomplish that? (I tried but was unsuccessful.) Here is the
modified class:
public class QuickDateFormatter extends DateFormatter
{
public var str_dateString:String;
public var str_dateFormat:String;
[Bindable] public var str_formattedDate:String;
public function getFormattedDate():void
{
var f:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
f.formatString = str_dateFormat;
str_formattedDate =
f.format(DateFormatter.parseDateString(str_dateString));
}
}
and a sample usage:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" xmlns:local="*">
<local:QuickDateFormatter id="qdf" str_dateString="{d.text}"
str_dateFormat="{f.text}" />
<mx:Label text="{qdf.str_formattedDate}" x="72" y="168"/>
<mx:TextInput x="72" y="117" width="133" id="d"/>
<mx:TextInput x="222" y="117" width="91" id="f"/>
<mx:Label x="72" y="91" text="Date"/>
<mx:Label x="222" y="91" text="Format"/>
<mx:Button x="341" y="117" label="Go" click="qdf.getFormattedDate();"/>
</mx:Application>
Thanks,
Ben
