BOOL SetFormat( LPCTSTR pstrFormat );
Return Value
Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.
Parameters
pstrFormat
A pointer to a zero-terminated format string that defines the desired display. Setting this parameter to NULL will reset the control to the default format string for the current style.
Remarks
This member function implements the behavior of the Win32 message DTM_SETFORMAT, as described in the Platform SDK.
Example
void CDatesDlg::OnButton2()
{
// Gain a pointer to the control
CDateTimeCtrl* pCtrl = (CDateTimeCtrl*) GetDlgItem(IDC_DATETIMEPICKER1);
ASSERT(pCtrl != NULL);
// The control will create itself with a format that matches the
// locale setting in Control Panel. But we can force a particular
// format with a call to SetFormat(). This call forces the format
// dd-MMM-yy, which would show 03-APR-98 for April 3rd, 1998.
pCtrl->SetFormat(_T("dd-MMM-yy"));
}
