VarUtils.VarDateFromStr Variable

VarDateFromStr is used to specify the function that makes the conversion from a WideString to a date value.

Pascal
VarDateFromStr: function(const strIn: WideString; LCID: DWORD; dwFlags: Longint; out dateOut: TDateTime): HRESULT;
C++
function(const strIn: WideString; LCID: DWORD; dwFlags: Longint; out dateOut: TDateTime): HRESULT VarDateFromStr;

Use VarDateFromStr to specify the function that makes the conversion from the WideString given through strIn to the date value stored in dateOut. The LCID parameter is a locale identifier and dwFlags specifies the flags used in the conversion.  

The function stored in VarDateFromStr returns the result of the conversion operation, which can be one of the following.

Value 
Meaning 
The conversion was successful. 
The variant type of the input parameter is not valid. 
The data stored in the output parameter does not fit in the destination type. 
The argument cannot be cast to the specified type. 
Either one of the arguments is invalid. 
There is not enough memory to complete the conversion. 

To make the inverse conversion, from a date value to a WideString, use the function referenced by VarBstrFromDate
