~~Title: Change date format of Cell Editor~~

To set a custom date format on a date cell, simply use following code:

<code java>
UIDateCellEditor dateEditor = new UIDateCellEditor();
//use long pre-configured date format
dateEditor.setDateFormat(((SimpleDateFormat)SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(SimpleDateFormat.LONG)).toPattern());
</code>
or use a custom format
<code java>
dateEditor.setDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
</code>

Above statements will create a date cell editor with configured date format. To apply the format, simply set the cell editor

<code java>
databook.getRowDefinition().getColumnDefinition("COLUMN_NAME").getDataType().setCellEditor(dateEditor);
</code>

It's not necessary to create multiple date cell editors for the same format, simply re-use existing instances. 

We have some static cell editors in our [[https://sourceforge.net/p/jvx/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/java/library/src/javax/rad/application/ApplicationUtil.java|ApplicationUtil]] class, e.g. 

<code java>
IMAGE_VIEWER
</code>
We recommend that you create a utility class for your cell editors as well.
