In SmartClient version 5.6, the DateItem class displays 3 character day names and month names. These are English language abbreviations, which may be inappropriate for localized applications.
This is a patch to simplify modifying the short day names and month names displayed by the SmartClient system in the date item (both in the drop down selector for months, and in the pop up 'calender' type selector).
Once the patch code has been applied to your application,
- to customize month names, set Date.shortMonthNames to an array of 12 month name strings.
- to customize day names, set Date.shortDayNames to an array of 7 day name strings.
This patch applies to the 5.6 Evaluation builds only.
