I've been using Win32::Grid control and setting the CellType to GVIT_DATECAL. Everything works great except that I can't figure out how to set the format of the date control. I need the date produced by the control to be in the format "yyyy-MM-dd" but the control seems to default to the short-date format of the system which is "M-d-yyyy" in my case. I have tried the ->SetCellFormat("yyyy-MM-dd") method in Grid and it doesn't error but it doesn't work either. I tried to use the DateTime method ->Format("yyyy-MM-dd") which errors out. I have searched google, sourceforge, and activestate for this but can't find anything. I looked at Grid.pm and couldn't find any way to change the default format in there. Can anyone give a me hint of how to do this??

Thanks, Chris
