Well of course this won’t work in every locale, not even all the English-speaking ones, since (IIRC) it’s “AM” in some of them, but I assume you’ve breezed right past that small point. :) It seems to me you have two choices. One is to honor the setting for time *text* and to use the date formatter result unmodified (which means you might get more characters than just the 3 or 4 or 5 that represent the time with a possible separator). Or, if your app really is more like a clock, then I’d make the 12/24 hr format a setting within the app. As you’ve seen from the menu bar clock, there does seem to be a possible distinction between clock time format and annotation time. Since you can’t access the menu bar format (no public API at least), a one-time app setting seems reasonable. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
