DateItem alignment

[rajesh.vashista]

Hi ,

I am using SmartGWT Pro 2.4 version.

I am trying to set all the fields in a dyanamic form to left alignment. But thing is the date field alone is not aligned to left side.
I set all alignment in ds as well as in my code , but none is working for the dateItem. The text is always aligned to the Right.

                        FormItem[] frmItems = form.getFields();
			for (FormItem item : frmItems) {
				item.setTitleAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
				item.setAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
			}

form.getField("deadline").setAlign(Alignment.LEFT);

<field name="deadline" title="Deadline" type="date"
			useTextField="true" editorType="date" dateFormatter="toEuropeanShortDate" align="left"/>

I also tried setting an editor type to the specific date field all all formatting like setUseTextField(), setTextAlign() etc. But no use..

Please throw some light on this one..

Thanks
Rajesh

What exactly are you trying to align:

1. text in the ListGrid header (ListGridField.setAlign())

2. text in the ListGrid cell (ListGridField.setCellAlign())

3. text inside the text field in the DateItem (DateTime.setTextAlign())

Actually I am trying to align text inside a date field.

All fields are set to the dynamic form from a DataSource using

dynamicform.setDataSource(DataSource.get("ds"));

I tried

dynamicform.getItem("date-field").setTextAlign();

- Did not work.

I tried

DateItem dateItem = new DateItem();
dateItem.setTextAlign();
dynamicform.getItem("date-field").setEditorType(dateItem);

-Did not work.

I don't want to set fields manually into a dynamic form. Is there any other way to align text inside a date item?

Set the fields on the DynamicForm. If you're perceiving this as manual, you need to read the Data Binding chapter of the QuickStart Guide - it's the approach that involves the least code and is the most robust with respect to further changes.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Will try that.
