RE: [flexcoders] DateValidator localization issue
I'm saying that flex should automatically add the internal date format it uses (dd.mm.) on the errormessage, since the internal formatters formatstring is always in English! For finnish or any other language this is no good. -Mika -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Manish Jethani Sent: 19. huhtikuuta 2005 13:33 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] DateValidator localization issue On 4/20/05, Mika Kiljunen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Now the problem arises because I'm writing a Flex app in finnish for finnish people and to them the inputFormat looks like pp.kk..

Correction, the most important word was missing I'm saying that flex should NOT automatically add the internal date format it uses (dd.mm.) on the errormessage, since the internal formatters formatstring is always in English! For finnish or any other language this is no good. -Mika From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mika Kiljunen Sent: 20. huhtikuuta 2005 9:06 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] DateValidator localization issue I'm saying that flex should automatically add the internal date format it uses (dd.mm.) on the errormessage, since the internal formatters formatstring is always in English!

DateValidator localization issue
OK, thats an annoying bug I can
imagine, please file it at http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish.
I think you will need to subclass
DateValidator to get around it but you could do it like so:
Class MyDateValidator extends
mx.validators.DateValidator
{
public function
validationError(errorCode:String, defaultMessage:String, subfield:String):Void
{
If
(errorCode == wrongLength)
defaultMessage = yourTranslatedMessage;
super.validationError(errorCode, defaultMessage, subfield);
}
}
Only thing you need to do is catch the
wrongLength error and re-write the error message yourself.

DateValidator localization issue
Hi,
There seems to be a localization problem with the date
validator. If you set the wrongLengthError property for the validator like
Please enter date in the correct form and also provide the
inputFormat property like dd.mm.. The validator validates the
date properly and sets the error message correctly but it also sets the
inputFormat after the wrongLengthError so the errormessage looks like
Please enter date in the correct form dd.mm.
Now the problem arises because Im writing a Flex app
in finnish for finnish people and to them the inputFormat looks like
pp.kk.. Internally I use dd.mm. for Flex to understand
it. The users are wondering what is this dd.mm. that I cant get rid
off because flex adds it to the errorMessage
Please remove the inputFormat
from the wrongLengthError errorstring on Flex 2.0 or provide another
property that can be used as the label for the inputFormat
!!!
Is there any way out other than
to write my own DateValidator?
