DateTimePicker format

[Rached]

Hello all, here hasn't been any where i haven't looked to solve this thing, but useless, some one might know here.

I have a datetimepicker of dtkTime type. By default it displays 12:00:00 AM. On run time i load different time values into it. The question is how to make the format look like hh:mm ? example 2:00:00 PM to 14:00 ? pulling the value to a text edit with
AnsiString test = FormatDateTime("hh:mm", StartTimePicker2->DateTime);
works fine but useless i can't put that string in the datetimepicker. how to set the format by default to hh:mm any one for help ? tnx

Hi

The format of the date and time picker is actually governed elsewhere...

Start menu -> Control Panel -> regional Settings

Look at the time page...

The format that you specify time to be displayed in on that screen is the same format that the date and time picker will use for its display. Change the default and the date and time picker will update without any code / property changes .


Then I could be talking crap but it worked on my machine..

It worked exactly as you described, thanks. If i want my program to display "HH:mm" in any machine it runs on, i dont want to make the user change it manually, think it could be done throught editing the registry on run time to set the proper format, then back to default value once done ?
