Problem with dateItem.setUseMask

[netname]

I have a dateItem working fine with a European Short Date format: dd/MM/yy. and dateItem.setUseTextField(true). But if I set dateItem.setUseMask(true) the mask prevents the first digit of the day to be higher than 2.

For example, I can enter 19/05/2010 w/o a problem, but I cannot enter 20/05/2010. If I select the same date (20/05/2010) from the calendar popup the value that is shown is "0/05/2010".

Here is how I set the Date Format in my Entry Class

	// Set Default Formatting for Date Fields
		DateUtil
				.setShortDateDisplayFormat(DateDisplayFormat.TOEUROPEANSHORTDATE);

		DateUtil.setDateInputFormatter(new DateInputFormatter() {
			@Override
			public Date parse(String dateString) {
				try {
					final DateTimeFormat dateFormatter = DateTimeFormat
							.getFormat("dd/MM/yy");
					Date date = dateFormatter.parse(dateString);
					return date;

				} catch (Exception e) {
					return null;
				}
			}
		});

And here is how I set the DateItem

		dateProcess.setTitle("Fecha Proceso");
		dateProcess.setUseTextField(true);
		dateProcess.setUseMask(true);
		dateProcess.setRequired(true);
		dateProcess.setEnforceDate(true);

- Thanks

Add:

dateProcess.setInputFormat("DMY");

It works

Thanks a lot, it works great.

I am a bit confused of the need to specify different formats in different places to set the date format...and having to specify it widget by widget ! But in the end it works.

Thanks again.

I agree and we'll have to look at this.

Hi

I am using the nigthly build 2010-07-15 and I am having the same problem.

the

.setInputFormat("DMY");

does not help me here.

There were any changes since this solution was posted?

[davidj6]

I'm not aware of changes. What does "does not help me here" mean? Can you psot a standalone test case?

[lucasam]

I made a cleaner example and it works. I am probably missing something.
Thanks
