How to specify localization for DateTimeEditBox

Hi Yaron,

Our edit boxes should use whatever the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture of the app is set to.  You would need to alter that at app startup to affect how DateTimeEditBox presents its data.

Hi,

I have the same problem. Where exactly I need to assign CurrentCulture? To which property? Hier is my code:

<editors:DateTimeEditBox Value="{Binding DateFrom}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="149,208,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="180"/>

  Thanks in advance

Hi John,

The MSDN topic we link to in our reply above tells you how you can set the property.  You probably want to do it in code at app startup time.

I have done that. My CurrentCulture is "de-DE". The names of months are correct, but the day names are still in english. How can i change that?

Hi John,

Do you mean that everything in the control now looks good (even when you zoom out to year view, etc.) except the day of the week headings (e.g. "Su", "Mo", etc.)?

Hi,

that's right. The day of the week headings are still english and the field Today at the bottom of control is english too. Certainly the date/time format is correct.

Hi John,

The problem seems to be that the logic in our StringFormatConverter, DateTimeFormatPatternConverter, and DayOfWeekFormatPatternConverter value converters use the CultureInfo instance that is passed into them.  That seems to always be en-US, even when you change the thread's current culture.  We're updating all those for the next version (likely 2016.1) to use CultureInfo.CurrentCulture instead.  That gets the calendar itself fully rendering properly in your scenario.

The "Today" button text on the other hand is a string resource in our Editors assembly that you can alter as appropriate for other languages, since it only ships with English.  Please see our documentation on string resources for info on modifying them.
