SysUtils.WideFormat Function

Returns a formatted Unicode string assembled from a format string and an array of arguments.

Pascal
function WideFormat(const Format: WideString; const Args: array of const): WideString; overload;
function WideFormat(const Format: WideString; const Args: array of const; const FormatSettings: TFormatSettings): WideString; overload;
C++
BSTR WideFormat(const BSTR Format, const array of const Args);
BSTR WideFormat(const BSTR Format, const array of const Args, const TFormatSettings FormatSettings);

This function formats the series of arguments in the open array Args. Formatting is controlled by the format string Format; the results are returned in the function result as a Unicode string. 

For information on the format strings, see Format Strings. 

The first form of WideFormat is not thread-safe, because it uses localization information contained in global variables. The second form of WideFormat, which is thread-safe, refers to localization information contained in the FormatSettings parameter. Before calling the thread-safe form of WideFormat, you must populate FormatSettings with localization information. To populate FormatSettings with a set of default locale values, call GetLocaleFormatSettings
