Format Date

[etwoss]

Hii

I use a datepicker which shows a date like '05/21/2014'

I also have a list of dates.
I get these dates as a integer value so, put them in a TDateTime and translate to String

However i than het 21-5-2014 (format of my pc)

How can i get to the date format of the browser , like datapicker does?

Hi

On my pc the shortdateformat equals to d-M-YYYY
In Delphi if i ask shortdateformat i get 'd/M/yyyy'

Delphi formats the date ,even when FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat = 'd/M/yyyy' to 'd-m-yyyy', so takes the correct settings

Code: Select all

     cbAnswer.Items.AddOption(FormatDateTime(FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat, LDate),  IntToStr(i));


Gives 30-5-2014

I also set

Code: Select all

 IWCGJQDatePicker.JQDatePickerOptions.DateFormat := FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat;


The daypicker correctly shows 30/5/2014

So formatsettings.ShortDateFormat does not use the right dateSeparator

So added:

Code: Select all

  if pos(FormatSettings.DateSeparator,FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat) > 0  then
    IWCGJQDatePicker.JQDatePickerOptions.DateFormat := FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat
  else
    IWCGJQDatePicker.JQDatePickerOptions.DateFormat := StringReplace(FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat, '/', FormatSettings.DateSeparator,                      [rfReplaceAll]);
