[ DataPicker ] how to show the date in the following format: 'dd/MM/yyyy' ?

[lucas]

I wonder if it's possible to format the date in the following format: 'dd/MM/yyyy'

Hi lucas,

You can achieve your goal with setting format property of the datepicker UI component on client:

function onLoad(e) {
    $(this).data('tDatePicker').format = 'dd/MM/yyyy';
}

As you probably noticed, you need to wire OnLoad event of the component and call the above event handler.

Please note that datepicker UI component depends on the Culture, and if you set Value() on the server, where the format is 'M/d/yy', the initially rendered will be formatted with it.

Is there way to format what is shown in the popup calendar that shows up when you click the calendar icon?  I just want it to show the years instead of full monthly calendars.

Thanks,

Uday
