Hi-
I ran into a problem with my production scheduling application as the
new year approached.
In IB I am using a 10.0 date formatter bound to NSDate properties of a
model object.
I used: %1m/ , %1I:%M%p
which gave me something like: 12/23, 12:30PM
This was used mostly for display, but the user is also able to type
into the edit field in order to change the value.
As the new year came into play, he might have changed 12/23 to 1/5. My
thinking was that if he entered just 1/5 it would assume the current
year, which seems to be correct.
But I thought if he entered 1/5/2009, then Cocoa would help me out and
do the right thing.
In fact, even when entering the year explicitly, the formatter still
made the data be 1/5/2008.
I had to add the year to the formatter string to make it accept the
year as input.
Is this expected? Is there a good way to only display the month and
day, and yet allow the year to be entered if desired?
Thank you
