Description

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

C++ Examples:

/*

user clicks the button, the current date and time is
converted to a string and displayed as the caption of the
label:
*/
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
  Label1->Caption = DateTimeToStr(Now());
}

Delphi Examples:

  Label1.Caption := SysUtils.DateTimeToStr(Now);
