SetPMExt Function |  |
Set the evening extension for time strings in 12-hour format.
Namespace: XSharp.Core
Assembly: XSharp.Core (in XSharp.Core.dll) Version: 2.21
SyntaxRemarks
Time strings formatted using the 12-hour time format have an extension to specify if the time is in the morning or the evening. SetPMExt() allows you to programmatically set the extension identifying evening time strings (that is, those between 12:00:00 noon and just before 12:00:00 midnight).
A typical extension for evening time strings is "PM", which is how the function derives its name. The initial default for the evening extension is affected by SetInternational(), which you can refer to for more information.
Use GetPMExt() to retrieve the current value of this setting. Note:
If SetInternational(#Windows) is in effect, the evening extension is also displayed as part of the 24-hour time format.
This is a Windows standard that is not specific to X#.
