[wxpython-users] Set dd/mm/yyyy format to wx.DatePickerCtrl?

[Raffaello Barella]

I met with the same problem, and didn't find any solution working on
wx.DatePickerCtrl or the locale. My workaround is to build a
wx.TextCtrl(read-only) with the same size and position of the
wx.DatePickerCtrl. The wx.TextCtrl shows only when the
wx.DatePickerCtrlloses focus, and its internal code translates the
value of the
wx.DatePickerCtrl to the format you desire. Then a double click to the
wx.TextCtrl hides it and renders the focus to the wx.DatePickerCtrl.  You
might use also a wx.StaticText, but this one does not allow to copy its
value with Ctrl-c.
