I am writing an application for displaying results of a darts league.

I am using a GridCtrl to display the weekly fixtures, however I prefer the dates formatted as dd-mm-yyyy, so have set:

    SetDateFormat("%3:02d/%2:02d/%1:4d");
    SetDateScan("dmy");

within the GUI_APP_MAIN.

This appears to work for the DropDate widget (and the DB backend), but not the GridCtrl display.

Is there a setup step that I've missed for the GridCtrl?

Never fear! It was down to me storing the date values in SQLite in d/m/Y format.

When I changed to ISO date format the conversions happened correctly and display formats were respected.

Hopefully this can help some other soul in the future!
