Showing full date in date field

[sencha-dev2]

Hi, I wish to show the full parsed date in a datefield. I effectively saw the date was always 01/01/01 for example.

As the application I'm developping targets from the baby to the elders, I might need to show the centuries in addition of what's already shown.

I'd be glad to know if there's a way to show : 01/01/1901.

Thanks in advance.

I searched through documentation but I saw no property which could fit...

you need to set the "format" config of the datefield to show the date how you like it to be shown.

It shows the full year by default. See the live example in the docs. There is a format configuration you can define for alternate formats.

Use format config (see supported formats http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/api/Ext.Date) -

{
        xtype: 'datefield',
        format: 'm/d/Y'
}

Thank you for your quick answers, but I'm already using format config and it doesn't change anything... It desperately remains 01/01/01...

[Tim Toady]

you probably have m/d/y (lowercase Y). If you just delete the format you should be set.

[sencha-dev2]

I'm sorry, but here's my code :

{
    xtype: 'datefield',
    name: 'dateEffet',
    fieldLabel: 'Date d\'effet ',
    format: 'd/m/Y',
    labelWidth: 120,
    width: 379,
    allowBlank: false
}

I'm actually using an upper Y... This is why I don't understand...

--------------------------------------

Maybe can help : I set its value with a getForm().setValues(res), res being an xhr answer array-parsed. I use it to fill my form, which this datefield belongs to. Can it be caused by this ? I'd precise when I show my form blank, I set its value with setValue(new Date()). Doesn't change anything though.

[Tim Toady]

Oh I see why you are using format now. The European way makes so much more sense. Is it possible it is getting overridden somewhere? d/m/Y should show it the way you want. In fact I even ran the code you specified just to double check and it works.

[Farish]

take a look at the altFormats config and the example in the API Docs:

http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!...orm.field.Date

your value which you are setting to the datefield should be in one of the formats specified either in the format config or the altFormats config.

[Tim Toady]

Had an idea. Are you using locale? The french locale has the d/m/y format specified. If you are including the locale script after your code it could be your issue.

--Edit
On second thought, I don't think locale would override a format specified on a object config, but I do wonder if it is somehow related. If you are using locale, try removing it temporarily and see if anything changes.
