How to set CultureInfo for MonthCalendar cell type

[Maxim Software Systems]

Is it possible to set the CultureInfo for the MonthCalendar control cell type? When I set a grid cell's type to MonthCalendar, it ignored the custom CultureInfo value I set for the cell and seems to use the Windows regional settings instead.

Hi Don,

Is it possible to set the CultureInfo for the MonthCalendar control cell type?

You can try these code:

this.grid[1,1].CellType = "MonthCalendar";
this.grid[1,1].CellValueType = typeof(DateTime);
this.grid[1,1].CultureInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("zh-HK");

Best regards,

That sort of worked. The date I select in the MonthCalendar now gets put into the cell in the proper format (dd/mm/yyyy as opposed to my Windows setting of mm/dd/yyyy), but I am now getting an "date format not recognized" error after that. It's as if the cell is validating the date that the calendar is returning, using a different CultureInfo to do it.

Hi Don,

The GridStyleInfo.Format property string used to format the text to display in the grid. you can specify the numeric format string, Date format string or enumeration format string by using this property. Below is a code snippet that set the "MM/dd/yyyy" format.

this.gridControl1[1, 1].Format = "MM/dd/yyyy";
