Enhancement: API ListGridField.setDateDisplayFormatter (DateDisplayFormatter ddf)

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

it seems that it is currently (current 4.1d) not possible to define a date format on a per-ListGridField-basis for a datetime-field.

Currently only the following API is available:

setDateFormatter(DateDisplayFormat dateFormatter)

My problem is that DateDisplayFormat is just a list of some possible already localized formats (at least the datepart and timepart order), where only the separators are replaced for different locales.

e.g.:

setDateFormatter(DateDisplayFormat.TOEUROPEANSHORTDATETIME);
results in:
de:    15.01.2014 17:40
en-US: 15/01/2014 17:40
where as
com.google.gwt.i18n.client.DateTimeFormat.getFormat(PredefinedFormat.DATE_TIME_MEDIUM)
would give sth like "2014 Jan 15 17:40" in the second case.

I think the change should be pretty easy for you, as you already default to the DateUtil.setShortDatetimeDisplayFormatter(), which can return really localized Strings with respect to separators, date-part-ordering and written day/month names. In the best case only some glue code is missing (is that correct? I'm getting to understand the framework more and more.).

Best regards,
Blama
