How can I dynamically change the Application Date Format?

Hi everyone...
In my application (v 3.2) I let the user set the application date format dynamically through a "preference" value they can change on the go.
I then take the format they pick and assign their value (ie: DD-MON-YYYY) and pad 'HH:MI' to it and use this as the PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK which works great for most date pickers.
The problem I have is that some date picker I use in the application don't require the HH:MI, they simply need the DD-MON-YYYY part. Could I use the NLS_DATE_FORMAT for this? Would I then be able to use date pickers with the "use application date format"? It doesn't seem to work for me.
In other words, I basically need 2 date formats for my application date pickers; 1 for simply the dates and 1 for dates including time. And these 2 formats are chosen by the user by setting an application preference dynamically at run time.
Not sure if I make sense here....any idea?
Thanks!
Francois

"use application date format" is the choice you want.

I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • How can I manually change the height of the "Type ...

    Hi all
    Just got automatically installed the latest 6.22 version of skype few minutes ago and I got a few questions. 
    First and foremost, how can I MANUALLY change the height of the textbox, where I type the messages. I would like to make it larger, like in the previous versions of skype. I don't want to move my mouse cursor through the entire monitor to reach this tiny textbox.
    And second, why you guys are trying constanly to ruin something that is working perfectly ? Going to revert to the previous version until you fix all these nuisances.
    Regards

    There is no way to do this, it is designed to be strictly landscape with keyboard, portrait without - not the best thought-out phone on the market, mainly geared towards compulsive texters and e-mailers.
    There's no way to know whetherNokia will change this with any future updates, perhaps you should make the recommendation to them directly using the 'contact us' link.

  • How can you add/change the currency rate in spro?

    Hi all,
    you can add a new currency code by going to spro --- general settings --- check currency codes
    for example: PERU ---> PEN
    But, how can we add/change the currency rate PEN in spro?
    for example: Peruvian Nuevo Sol     = 4,3567619
    Is it still in customizing? And if so, where can i find it?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Pamela.

    Hi Aman,
    I have entered the field to add the new currency rate.
    But the system doesn't want to valid my new rate.
    I get the following error message:
    "Input should be in the form ._,____ "
    Do you know how to override that command?
    Thanks.

  • How can I dynamically change a Grids ro color

    Hi,
    I am using a grid within a component in my Flex application.
    I have an XML dataProvider, and I want to change the row

    – but I cant seem to get this to work :(
    can anyone help / advise me on how I can dynamically change the
    colour of my grid row depending on a value coming from my XML

    For example:

    however, I cannot access the property

  • How can i dynamically vary the color of one graph line

    I was looking on the developer zone and noticed several people are looking for a way to change the color of one graph line. Simplest case I would like to know: a graph is running, then you press a button and from that point on the color of the graph changes, but doesnt change the old data line color. THis way the line will consist of different colors.
    The property node changes the whole line, and the line is always just one color. It should be possible to make the line consist of different color sections, anyone know how?

    The application is actually not as slow as it seemed, i had some settings set wrong (anti aliasing in plot, and some functions in advanced, when you right click on the graph)
    Especially unchecking the anti-aliasing makes it much faster
    Also, just plotting point and not a line, or alternatively, changing the interpolation makes it faster.
    Anyway, the attached files do not rely on processor so much anymore, see for yourself

  • How can i know that the application is written in a correct way???

    Dear sirs...
    it seems a little silly, but assume that i wrote an applicaion, how can i
    1- be sure that its performance is good, i.e. did i designed the application to be fast?
    2- if it is using SSL, how can i make sure the performance is high?
    3- before the applicaion is installed should i use any specific tuning?
    4- should i do some tuning to the database,& as? i know how to install the AS, & DB, and how to make the application work, but i want it to work as good as possible
    thanks for any help & happy new year
    regards

    you need load testing tool for that...
    you can test your application with "Web Performance Trainer".. it supports ssl, multiple users (up to 5000 simultaneous), etc...
    i use it and it is very good... anyway i havent try it with UIX only plain JSP but i think it shoud work with UIX too...
    ofcourse you have to load database with lots of dummy records to have valid results...
    my expirience is that for single standallone oc4j instance on heavy load maximum is 50-100 simultaneous users over ssl aes-256 (but load testing tool, oc4j and db are on the same computer which have only 2 GB of ram, and DB is only light loaded with with several hundred records, and each of those 50-100 concurent users have its own login name, each on its own separate SSL chanel.. so encryption load is really really heavy) on real deplyment system performance should be much much gerater, because DB, AS, and OC4J's should be on diferent machines each...

  • How Can you dynamically change a canvas frame title?

    I am looking for a way to dynamically change the title of a frame on a canvas.

    Jim,
    frames on a canvas are graphic objects that cannot be controlled using properties. To obtain dynamic frame labels, all you can do is to have a Display Item instead of the frame label.

  • Why can't I change the Created Date on a file using Terminal?

    I bought a used Contour helmet camera to take pictures of the kids while they're skiing, and I cannot access the camera itself to change the clock in it (USB port is broken).
    I get videos from it just fine, but every time I remove the battery the date/time on the camera resets to January 2008, so my skiing videos end up someplace completely different from what I expect in iMovie.
    I thought I could change the Created Date with Touch in Terminal, but it only handles the Modified Date.  I know I can purchase File Date Changer 5 from the App Store to do this, but I'd like to know why I can't do it in Terminal.
    Anybody know?  Or know of a different way that I COULD do it in Terminal?

    Don't know about Terminal, but, because you are using 10.9.x and iMovie, try the iMovie method:

  • How can I permanently change the date format from the American format to the UK's without having to constantly change it manually every time I start a new spreadsheet?

    This is my first mac so I'm still getting my bearings with it. I've only used Windows programmes before. I can't understand why it's so hard to change the date format of the cells in Numbers to keep it showing the UK format. The system preferences of the mac show that it's in the correct region and has the correct date but this doesn't seem to transfer into the Numbers program. I was very impressed with the mac until I discovered this. If anyone knows how I can get the date to stay in the correct format without having to go through the process of altering it in the cell inspector everytime then I would be very grateful.

    Numbers & most apps, especially those from Apple, use the date format you have set in System Preferences > Language & Text > Region. You can then choose UK from the Region drop-down list. Mine says Custom because I've defined things further as in the second screenshot.
