How can a date be displayed in the format dd/mm/yyyy in Visualforce?

Hi all,

I am trying to display/retrieve a given date in the format dd/mm/yyyy, but without success til now.

What is being displayed is this:

User-added image

My code in Visualforce is this:
  
<td style="white-space:nowrap;">
                  <apex:inputText value="{0,StartDateTime,MM'/'dd'/'yyyy}" disabled="true" >
                   <apex:param value="{!evento.StartDateTime}" /> 
                  <apex:inputText>
</td>
Even if I replace "inputText" by "outputText", under my problems list appears "disabled not compatible with outputtext.

StartDateTime is a field in the Event object and it is shown that way probably because my time zone is a British timezone:

User-added image

Users want the timezone in English and not Spanish.
Is there any form to display the date time in the format dd/mm/yyyy? (example: 17/05/2017)

I would appreciate tips.

Hi Rocio Vivanco,

if all you need is the current date printed out in that format then you can use this:
  
<apex:outputText value="{0, date,  dd / MM / yyyy}">
 <apex:param value="{!NOW()}" />
</apex:outputText>

Hope this helps you!

Hi Rocio,
Use the below code , it gives an inputDateField and displays that in dd/mm/yyyy format

Vf page  :
  
<apex:page controller="DmVFcheck_CC" >
    <apex:form>
        
        <apex:inputField value="{!evento.StartDateTime}"  >  
          <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" action="{!functionName}" reRender="renderOp1"/>    
          </apex:inputField>
        <apex:outputPanel id="renderOp1">
            
            <apex:outputText value="{0, date,dd MMMM yyyy}">
               
            <apex:param value="{!evenDate}" /> 
         </apex:outputText>
        
          
            </apex:outputPanel>
       
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Controller code  :
  
public class DmVFcheck_CC {
    public event evento{get;set;}
    public Date evenDate{get;set;}
    public Integer ii{get;set;}
    public DmVFcheck_CC()
    {
        evento=new Event();
        evento.StartDateTime=System.now();
        evenDate=evento.StartDateTime.date();
        ii=0;
    }

    public PageReference functionName()
    {
        System.debug('function called');
        evenDate= evento.StartDateTime.date();
        //Time tt= System.now().time();
       //  evento.StartDateTime= DateTime.newInstance(evenDate, tt); 
       // ii++;
        return null;
    }
}

Let me know if you need further help on the code part.
Thanks and Regards,
Shiva RV

Thanks guys for your answers.
I have used both versions of you, but one of them worked best just replacing NOW() by evendate.
