Browse Dialog, RegEx and Customize DateTime

Eduardo — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:45:37 GMT

Hello!

I'm new to Straframe and need to customize a browse dialog, more specifically the column for DateTime. Currently appears something like dd / mm / yyyy hh: mm: ss and need only to dd / mm / yyyy.
From what I understand, you must use RegEx for this, but I can not find me to do this. What should I do to customize this column?

All suggestions are welcome.

Really this is just a .NET thing. But it is something that you will see us go over from time to time on the forum as well as training sessions. Before you ask, we have not yet scheduled the next training class...but be on the lookout on the website :D

Thanks Trent, worked perfectly! :D

Is there a session in Strataframe documentation that demonstrates how to customize the Format String?
I'm also booted in VB.NET (I was Clarion programmer) and I do not know if this is a feature of Strataframe or VB.NET

Eduardo,

First, welcome to the StrataFrame forums! In regards to your question, the good news is that the date is going to be configurable in any circumstance here.

1. If you are referring to the search fields, then this will actually be pulled from the globalization settings on the machine.
2. If you are referring to the display in the results, you don't actually need to use RegEx, just do the following within your results layout for the date field:

[codesnippet]{0:dd/MM/yyyy}[/codesnippet]

You would obviously replace the "0" with the appropriate field in your display fields. Also, when you apply formatting for a month in any area of .NET, a capital "MM" will give you month values where a lower case "mm" will give you minutes. Just FYI.
