Question

I want to set the time format on the timeline in phGantXControl.ocx.

How I can set a time format like this?

06:31:00 PM

I see that I should use the TimeFormat property, but I don’t know how I can map the ‘:’ separator and the A.M./P.M. indicator.

Answer

We use the DateTimeFormat provided by Borland. You can use DateFormat and TimeFormat properties. This is the definition:

Specifier         Displays< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

c                    Displays the date using the format given by the ShortDateFormat global variable, followed by the time using the format given by the LongTimeFormat global variable. The time is not displayed if the date-time value indicates midnight precisely.

d                    Displays the day as a number without a leading zero (1-31).

dd                  Displays the day as a number with a leading zero (01-31).

ddd                Displays the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat) using the strings given by the ShortDayNames global variable.

dddd              Displays the day as a full name (Sunday-Saturday) using the strings given by the LongDayNames global variable.

ddddd            Displays the date using the format given by the ShortDateFormat global variable.

dddddd          Displays the date using the format given by the LongDateFormat global variable.

e                    (Windows only) Displays the year in the current period/era as a number without a leading zero (Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese locales only).

ee                  (Windows only) Displays the year in the current period/era as a number with a leading zero (Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese locales only).

g                    (Windows only) Displays the period/era as an abbreviation (Japanese and Taiwanese locales only).

gg                  (Windows only) Displays the period/era as a full name. (Japanese and Taiwanese locales only).

m                   Displays the month as a number without a leading zero (1-12). If the m specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.

mm                Displays the month as a number with a leading zero (01-12). If the mm specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.

mmm              Displays the month as an abbreviation (Jan-Dec) using the strings given by the ShortMonthNames global variable.

mmmm           Displays the month as a full name (January-December) using the strings given by the LongMonthNames global variable.

a/p                 Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays ‘a’ for any hour before noon, and ‘p’ for any hour after noon. The a/p specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result is displayed accordingly.
