Roger,
Use the following function.
public function
gridDateFormatter(item:Object,column:DataGridColumn):String
{
var f:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
f.formatString = "DD-MMM-YYYY";
return f.format(item[column.dataField]);
}
Then on your grid column set the labelfucntion like:
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="date" headerText="Dated"
labelFunction="gridDateFormatter" />
Change the format string to match the format you need.
B.

Subject: [flexcoders] date formating
Hello,
I have a date field in a grid.
what is the correct syntax to get it to display MM/DD/YYYY right now it
displays as Wed Jan 30 00:00:00 GMT
I have <mx:DateFormatter id="df" formatString="MM/DD/YYYY"/> as my date
format and I added the syntax to the datafield
dataField="{df.format(entrydate)}"
But this just gives me an error.
I found how to do it on a label but I need it formated in a grid
column..
Thank you
Roger
