Change date range text on filter editor

Hello,

I am trying to change the date shown in a filter editor from a list grid.

Actually, filter editor shows a "smart" date range. For example if I want to filter the range between [08.09.2014 15:00 - 09.09.2014 14:00], filter shows [Sep 8 - 9, 2014].

I want to change this default filter format and show the complete date range. In case of [Sep 8 - 9, 2014] I want to show [08.09.2014 15:00 - 09.09.2014 14:00], so the user knows which is the actually filter criteria.

I have tried to set my own MiniDateRangeItem for my ListGridField, but it doesn't work:

private void updateField(ListGridField field) {
...
 final MiniDateRangeItem mdr = new MiniDateRangeItem();
 // Test change default tooltip
 mdr.setPrompt("Test");
 // Test change initial value 
 mdr.setValue("Test value");
 mdr.addChangedHandler(new ChangedHandler() {
	@Override
	public void onChanged(ChangedEvent event) {
		// Test change value when date range changes
		mdr.setValue("New test value");
		((TextItem)event.getItem()).setValue("Maybe that...");
	}
 });
 field.setFilterEditorProperties(tf);
}

I was able to change the value on a TextItem but when I try with MiniDateRangeItem, it doesn't work.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance!

Sometimes is needed a RTFM as response...

To set another format in filter field for a range date, just use:

ListGridFieldType type = field.getType();
if (type == ListGridFieldType.DATE || type == ListGridFieldType.DATETIME) {
  MiniDateRangeItem tf = new MiniDateRangeItem();
  tf.setDateDisplayFormat(DateDisplayFormat.TOEUROPEANSHORTDATETIME);
  tf.setDateFormatter(DateDisplayFormat.TOEUROPEANSHORTDATETIME);
  field.setFilterEditorProperties(tf);
}
