Description |
The ShortTimeFormat variable provides the short (compact) formatting used for certain time to string conversions.
It is used by the TimeToStr, DateTimeToStr and DateTimeToString routines (the latter when the 'c' or 't' formatting is used).
The following formatting character strings can be used in the ShortTimeFormat string:
h | = Hour with no leading 0's |
hh | = Hour as 2 digits |
n | = Minute with no leading 0's |
nn | = Minute as 2 digits |
s | = Seconds with no leading 0's |
ss | = Seconds as 2 digits |
z | = Milli-seconds with no leading 0's |
zzz | = Milli-seconds as 3 digits |
|
|
Notes |
The default value is calculated from LOCALE_ITIME and LOCALE_ITLZERO

DateTimeToString(formattedDate, 't', myDate);
ShowMessage('15:06:23.456 using default = '+formattedDate);
// Change the display formatting
ShortTimeFormat := 'hh nn ss';
DateTimeToString(formattedDate, 't', myDate);
