ts focus, the date format changes from dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy-mm-ddwhich can be confusing to the user. Dropping down the datawindowshows the values again in the right format dd/mm/yyyy.

Workaround requirements:

Base datawindow column of type date. (here column start_date)

Dropdowndatawindow column also of type date, using a special

formatting eg. dd/mm/yyyy or dd.mm.yyyy

Language settings according to the special formatting, here

dd/mm/yyyy.

The code needs to be in the itemfocuschanged of the base

atawindow and a special defined unmapped userevent, which gets

riggered by the itemfocuschanged code.

//Example with date field in Employee table !!!

if dwo.name="start_date" then

w_sheet.triggerevent ("ue_displayvalue") //w_sheet is the

window having the userevent and dw on it

end if

the userevent ue_displayvalue:

//Example with date field in Employee table !!!

string rownumber,displayvalue

rownumber = string(dw_1.getrow())

displayvalue = dw_1.describe("Evaluate(

'lookupdisplay(start_date) ', "+rownumber+" )")

dw_1.settext(displayvalue)

This results in resetting the displayed date value to the correctformatting after the column gets focus, hence overriding the defaultdate.
