DateField.setFormat("dd/MM/yyyy EEE")

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8

Hi,
I have upgraded to Vaadin 7 and have discovered my date fields are nolonger showing the Day-Of-Week.
Well thats not exactlly true. The onscreen date field text area is only wide enough for only 10 characters.
The Day of Week part is actually there, but hidden. It is also ALWAYS has a value of “Tue”.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to enable (/recreate) this extended date format for my Vaadin 7 UI.
Many Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

It seems that it works with format “dd/MM/yyyy E”. Don’t know the reason why it does not change the day of the week with “EEE”. Please, file a ticket for it

Thanks for the work around.
Ticket raised: #13443: DateField.setFormat(“dd/MM/yyyy EEE”) does not work but “dd/MM/yyyy E”
