Hi,
There are some SysUtils functions accept TFormatSettings as parameter
and return the value format based on TFormatSettings. e.g: DateToStr.
I usually use GetLocaleFormatSettings to retrieve TFormatSetting before
calling those functions. However, there is a weakness with the
GetLocaleFormatSettings function, it retrieve the user overridden format
setting in windows regional setting.
I wish to retrieve a copy the untouch FormatSettings even if user has
changed in regional settings. I found out the GetLocalFormatSettings
code is written like:
ShortDateFormat := TranslateDateFormat(GetLocaleStr(DefaultLCID,
LOCALE_SSHORTDATE, 'm/d/yy'));
If we pass LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE to GetLocalStr:
GetLocaleStr(DefaultLCID, LOCALE_SSHORTDATE or LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE,
'm/d/yy'));
We will get the original copy of the value. I have google and search in
the vcl source but couldn't find anything similar. Is there any good
ways to overcome this? Please advice. Thank you.
