Changing the Report Editor's "Display Format" Lists

Ian K

None of the pre-entered Data/Time formats in the Report Designer's "Display Format" list match the one we invariably use in our reports (the UK style dd/mm/yyyy).

Is there any way of editing that list?

Modify frxrcDesgn.xml in the Res folder

  <StrRes Name="fkText" Text="Text (no formatting)"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkNumber" Text="Number"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkDateTime" Text="Date/Time"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkBoolean" Text="Boolean"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkNumber1" Text="1234.5;%g"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkNumber2" Text="1234.50;%2.2f"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkNumber3" Text="1,234.50;%2.2n"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkNumber4" Text="$1,234.50;%2.2m"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkDateTime1" Text="11.28.2002;mm.dd.yyyy"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkDateTime2" Text="28 nov 2002;dd mmm yyyy"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkDateTime3" Text="November 28, 2002;mmmm dd, yyyy"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkDateTime4" Text="02:14;hh:mm"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkDateTime5" Text="02:14am;hh:mm am/pm"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkDateTime6" Text="02:14:00;hh:mm:ss"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkDateTime7" Text="02:14am, November 28, 2002;hh:mm am/pm, mmmm dd, yyyy"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkBoolean1" Text="0,1;0,1"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkBoolean2" Text="No,Yes;No,Yes"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkBoolean3" Text="_,x;_,x"/>
  <StrRes Name="fkBoolean4" Text="False,True;False,True"/>

and recompile language resources
