Hi all.
It seems that DTPicker ignores the "Set Date British" setting. It always displays "mm/dd/yy" format.
Could someone please confirm this ... and perhaps suggest a work around?
Thanks,
Ross

I had a similar problem when datepicker would not display in french format as i needed
My fix around was
REQUEST HB_LANG_FR
HB_langSelect("FR")
SET DATE TO FRENCH
Maybe this will help

Thank you Richard. I will give that a go.

(ps ... we enjoyed watching the women's French Tennis Open. And Francesca "did her country proud". Congratulations to Italy. And to Spain for Raffa's 5th French "crown".)
No did not work.
Very strange and frustrating.

SOLVED!
Yet again, I can deliver the blame at the doorsteps of Microsoft. Their Pocket PC 2003 Second edition emulator ignores the set date settings.
I almost always use the emulator while developing software and maybe once every week test on the Axim itself. As I was going to sleep last night, I realised that I had not tested the date formatting "problem" on the Axim. This morning's test reveals the culprit. The date displays correctly on the Axim, but wrongly on the emulator.
Hopefully, my "travails" will help someone else.
Thanks for your help Richard.
