Change Date Format in Calendar Control Date field

オフライン

I have a date field in my custom form that is not bound to any item type. The Calendar Control Time selection is disabled by default as the default format is Short date. How do i change this to long date so the time selection is enabled?

  • Hello,

    This is possible by passing a format parameter into the Date dialog when you open it. You can see all of the available parameters for the different standard Aras dialogs in this blog post. Your updated code will look something like the sample below.

    var i18n = aras.IomInnovator.getI18NSessionContext()
    var format = i18n.GetUIDatePattern("long_date_time"); // M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss a
    var params =
    {
    // date: origDate, <-- You can use this to pass in a date you want the dialog to start at
    format: format,
    aras: top.aras,
    type: 'Date',
    title: 'Select Date',
    dialogWidth: 250,
    dialogHeight: 250
    };
    // Open the dialog and do all of your processing below

  • This doesn't seems to work.  I have a custom form with various fields (text, date and drop down list) and it is not attached to any item type. I'm calling this form from some javascript method but the date is still in short date format. Any help will be much appreciated.

  • I have a custom form with date field. I want date format to be dd/MM/yyyy. 

    Any help will be much appreciated.

  • Hi Neha

    You can use below html in form to get the custom date format

    Step 1: In form create two fields (text and html)

    Step 2: For Text field, give name as date and Label as Date

    Step 3: For HTML field, give name as selectdate and Label as Empty

    Step 4: Copy below HTML code

    <input name="selectdate" align="absmiddle" style="display: inline; cursor: pointer;" class="sys_f_input_image sys_f_input_image_ie" onclick="myFunction()" type="image" src="../images/calendar.svg" border="0" title="Date Dialog">
    </input>
    <script>
    function myFunction() {
    var dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
    params = {
    aras: top.aras,
    format: dateFormat,
    type: "Date"
    };
    return aras.getMainWindow().main.ArasModules.Dialog.show("iframe", params).promise.then(function(res) {
    return updateDatetoText(res);
    });
    function updateDatetoText(dt) {
    var queryDate = dt.replace(" ", "T");
    var fillFromDate = document.querySelector("input[name='date']");
    fillFromDate.value = queryDate;
    }
    }
    </script>

    Thank You
