Get Date Format
Posted: Tue May 19, 2009 01:53 AM

Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to [u:dk0pwhol]get[/u:dk0pwhol] the date format?

What I would like to do is have a tooltip displayed when the user hovers over a date field showing them something like:

Format: mm/dd/yy

Thanks,

Jeff Barnes

I didn't test this but you can try something like,

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

#include "set.ch"
cDate := set(_SET_DATEFORMAT)

Thanks Hua.

That did it.

It appears that the date format does not match the settings in windows ... how can I do a SET DATE .... to match the windows date setting?

Thanks,

Yeap. It's based on what we set in our app via the command SET DATE command

Sorry, no idea. Have never done that before.

Jeff:
Is it what you want?
oDateSystem:cTooltip:=cMonth(dATE())+" "+StrZero(Day(dATE()),2)+" "+Str(Year(dATE()),4)

Actually what I want to do is to set the date in my app to match the settings in Windows Control Panel->regional and language options->Customize(button)->Date(tab)

I would like to match the "Short Date Format"

Thanks,
