How to change the date format in a DB aware combo box?

Question

I'm using TwwDbLookupComboDlg component. I want to change the date format in the combobox (as shown below) from 1/1/2009 to Jan 2009, any idea?

Answer 1

Change the TDateField's DisplayFormat :

with Table1 do
    TDateField(FieldByName('Date1')).DisplayFormat:='mmm yyyy';

Answer 2

If you are using a dataware control, you can format the field data using the DisplayFormat property.

TDateTimeField(ADODataSet1.FieldByName('START_DATE')).DisplayFormat:='mmm-yyyy';

Answer 3

I haven't worked with this component but I think when you're filling up the combo, for each field in the list you can use shortmonthnames
