 Roger,
  Use the following function.
 
 
 
   public function
 gridDateFormatter(item:Object,column:DataGridColumn):String 
   {   
   var f:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
   f.formatString = DD-MMM-; 
   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.

 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/ right now it
 displays as Wed Jan 30 00:00:00 GMT
 
 I have mx:DateFormatter id=df  formatString=MM/DD// 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

[flexcoders] Re: Date formating application wide

[joao_m_fernandes]

Well I know that I can subclass standard components but I was
wondering if there was a way to do it with Flex classes.

I was wondering if there was a way for Flex to use system locals/user
locals/Default and all flex classes that depends on localization would
inherit it by default.

 You can achieve this, if it's not already there. You can subclass
DateField
 and DateChooser component and add this functionality.
 
 Following is quick and dirty example to :
 
 
 ##ExtendedDateFieldExample.mxml##
 
 mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
 xmlns:local=*
   local:DateFieldEx /
 /mx:Application
 
 
 ##DateFieldEx.as##
 
 import mx.controls.DateField;
 
 class DateFieldEx extends DateField
 {
 //default German month names...
 private static var defaultMonthNames =

[Januar,Februar,März,April,Mai,Juni,Juli,August,September,
 Oktober,November,Dezember]
 
 public function init():Void
 {
 super.init();
 monthNames = defaultMonthNames;
 }
 }
 
 
 
 
 On similar lines you can think...
 
 Hope that helps..

 Subject: [flexcoders] Date formating application wide
 
 Hi there,
 
 Is there a way to set default values other than English formating so
 each component uses it instead of setting formatters everywhere.
 
 Example, If I have several DateFields and DateChoosers I want to be
 able just to set in the main Application weekday names (or month
 names) and those components use it as default.
 
 If I set mx:DateField automaticly it should use my definitions of
 dayNames and monthNames without setting it directly in the component.
 
 Any Idea how I can achieve this?
 
 Thanks,
 
 João Fernandes
