 ~~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.
