Setting the windows date format through VB

[ndalli]

Hi,

Does anyone knows how I can set the windows date format to for example dd/mm/yyyy, through VB?

Thanks in advance

Take a look at the SetLocaleInfo WinAPI call.

Public Declare Function SetLocaleInfo Lib "kernel32" Alias "SetLocaleInfoA" (ByVal Locale As Long, ByVal LCType As Long, ByVal lpLCData As String) As Long


To get the info use GetLocaleInfo like:

lBuffLen = 128
sBuffer = String$(lBuffLen, vbNullChar)

lResult = GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SSHORTDATE, sBuffer, lBuffLen)
