For some reason, setting the application locale to nl_NL does not affect my datefield components.
Dates are still displayed in english language/formatting.
I tried using the following:
But this does not work. Am I doing something wrong?
I guess I could make a custom datefield component, where I supply the dutch translations for those dates, including the formatting, but this is a way I rather not like to go...
you can use formatString to specify the dateFomat you wish to use.
<mx:DateField id="dateFieldEnd" formatString="YYYY/MM/DD" .. />
I would use the following:
<mx DateField id = "dateField"
dayNames ="["S", "M", "D", "M", "T", "F", "S"]"
monthNames="["januari", "February", "March", "April", "May",
"June", "July", "August", "September", "October",
"November", "December"]" />
Along with the formatString option you should get what you are looking for. I know those are all English except January, but I don't know the Dutch month names...
