wxWidgets 3.1.5 wxGridCellDateEditor format

Post by ArcTheSpark »

Good Day,
I am using wxWidgets 3.1.5 and seem to be misunderstanding how to set the format of a wxGridCellDateEditor.

Below is an example:
ps. m_grid_journal is a wxGrid.

Code: Select all

wxGridCellDateEditor *transDate = new wxGridCellDateEditor(wxString("%d-%m-%Y"));
m_grid_journal->SetCellEditor(row, 0, transDate);
when I click on the cell that has the wxGridCellDateEditor.
The date always changes to the following format ("%Y/%m/%d") eg (2021/04/15)
and not to ("%d-%m-%Y") eg (15-04-2021).

Once the date is chosen I would like it to display in the day-month-year format.
can someone help me in what I am doing wrong.

Thank you.

Hi,
What OS/wxWidgets version?
What locale(s) do you have installed on the system?

Thank you.

Hi ONEEYEMAN, thank you.

I'm currently using wxWidgets 3.1.5.
It happens on windows 10, Ubuntu 20.10 and macOS Catalina.

On Windows and Ubuntu I have tried / use:
locale English (South Africa) en_ZA
But have also tested using English (UK) en_GB.

On Mac I have only tried English (South Africa) en_ZA.

My understanding is that if I pass through a format string, it should use that instead of the current locale / OS locale.

Code: Select all

wxGridCellDateEditor *transDate = new wxGridCellDateEditor(wxString("%d-%m-%Y"));
Thank you
