Lots of stuff that a simple search in the Delphi help would turn up ("Help"
menu -> "Delphi Help"->"Find" tab, and search for (for example) "date
formatting" . )
Anyway, here's an example of how you might do what you want:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
FormatSettings : TFormatSettings;
begin
// populate format settings object with defaults
GetLocaleFormatSettings( GetUserDefaultLCID, FormatSettings );
// change to input format to be converted to date
FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat := 'MM/dd/yyyy';
// Convert '1/31/2005' to Date using correct format, then format back to
string in format 'dd/mm/yyyy'
Label1.Caption := FormatDateTime('dd/mm/yyyy', StrToDate('1/31/2005',
FormatSettings));
end;
Cheers
