Custom pxDisplayText and Date/time with custom Time Zone
We have a requirement where users should see some dates on a fixed time zone and not based on their time zone, I currently have a custom control where I can pass date time format as parameter and I think the same can apply for the time zone, but if I use this custom format then I cant set a Control Format as in pxDisplayText, wich its needed.

So, if I can create a custom pxDisplayText I can even add a dropdown for the time zone on the options when selecting datetime format (don't know if this is possible)
The problem is, I can’t see the pxDisplayText code and where is the datetime format done.
Any hint on this?

I know this is not the place to answer to @Santanu question, but this is my first post here and don’t know why but I cannot write a reply or add new comment.
To the question I want to show the dates as edit only always, for me its ok if they are stored on GMT, but the thing is I want to choose the timezone at will, and not by the operator timezone, plus add a control format, lets say to change the font color or styles.

Hello
do you want to show the dates as read only or make it editable.
Any time you select a date time, it gets stored in backend in GMT format.
There is also a function called : toGMT()
You can check that out to write your own custom code to convert the date time to your specific timezone.
