How to find out what date format is being used on a computer? 1

[MikeBronner]

I would like to find out what date format is being used on the computer, in order to correctly validate dates being input by the user.

Are there any APi calls or something similar to find this out? Best Regards and many Thanks!

Hello,
I found out how to do this recently (about 2 months ago), however, I don't have the code with me right now. You can either use the GetDateFormat() API function with the SYSTEMTIME structure, or the GetLocaleInfo() API function. I believe I used the GetLocaleInfo() to get the date format. Check the MSDN online for examples.
