Calendar Control Date Format

Calendar Control Date Format

Postby TimStone » Fri May 21, 2010 9:27 pm

In the tcalenda.prg class, you define the date format to British by default. All of my date lookups are American, but once the calendar is run once, it changes the display throughout the program.

Is there a call to override your default ? If not, there needs to be. I revised it in the source code, but we wouldn't want to do this with every future release. Thanks.

the calendar is a control from window api, this depend of date format from windows, you can use SET DATE TO AMERICAN

the class not use British format by default, the class use #define DATEFORMAT "dd/mm/yyyy" only for control, for this way the class "know" where is DAY, MONTH and YEAR (always), i mean if you use SET DATE TO AMERICAN, internally the class change to "dd/mm/yyyy" in some methods but after restore to America format again, METHOD SaveDateFormat() and METHOD RestoreDateFormat()
