that really depends on what you want to end up with, do you want to have your time as a TDateTime regardless of the settings of the OS? if you rely on the OS settings you will get loads of complaints from customers :)
where is this time coming from? a database? a text box? from the serial port? it could give an indication of how this can be achieved without alot of confusing programing let me know j -----Original Message----- From: "Brad Hall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2006 09:49:59 +1100 Subject: [delphi-en] TimeToStr > Hi everybody :-) > > Has any1 encountered a Windows OS that has the regional settings for > the > Time Separator set as ' ' (a space) instead of the usual ':' (colon) + > then tried to use the TimeToStr func in Delphi? eg: the time appears as > "10 26" instead of "10:26" in Windows.
