Categorized View Control does not display Dates in correct format

I have a category in a view control that is a date.

On the Notes client in the view, I have the categorized column value set to @Date(fieldName) and on the column properties Advanced Format tab I have the the Style set to Date/Time, On Display is set to MM/DD/YYYY, and I am only displaying the Date, not Time values.

However, on the web, it displays as this, for example:

Fri May 25 08:05:05 MDT 2012

But, I want it to display as:

5/25/2012

I am guessing you may have to display the value as computed and use some server side JavaScript, but not sure how to do that using a View Control.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!
Dan

Solution

The solution I used was to convert the date value to text, so the formula in the view column/category is:

@Text(@Date(myField); "D0S0");

Seems to fix the issue...
