Hi there wizards,
I'm struggling with a dDateTextBox in my German environment:
- at first the date gets displayed in German format (dd.mm.yyyy),
e.g. 31.12.2008 (that's clearly locale dependent, same as
datetime.datetime.strftime(locale.nl_langinfo(locale.D_FMT)))
- the hotkey popup is always in English (ok, I could set ToolTipText
myself, but for what do we have locales?)
- if I press a hotkey or leave the box, the displayed date gets
switched to mm.dd.yyyy (12.31.2008)
- if I press another key, e.g. +, it tries to take the displayed date
as dd.mm. and generates an error ("Invalid date specified")
- after that the hotkeys won't work any more
I couldn't find a hook for the date display format - I'd prefer ISO
yyyy-mm-dd, because you can feed that directly to MySQL or the like,
but any reliable format would do for the moment.
Perhaps it would make sense to base dDateTextBox on
wx.DatePickerCtrl? (Didn't try yet if it would fit my needs.)
Otherwise I'd use named groups in the regular expressions for date
parsing, that would make them more readable and
dDateTextBox.strToDate would get much shorter.
And please account for locale.nl_langinfo(locale.D_FMT)! (locale is
imported but never used!)
If you are too busy, I'll try to come up with a solution at the weekend.
