Declaration
property DateOrder: TDateOrder read FDateOrder write SetDateOrder;Description
DateOrder is a
TDateOrder property which indicates the
order of the Year, Month, and Day parts of the Date value. Values in the
enumeration include:
- doNone
- No order is specified. The value in DateFormat is used instead. EditMask is set to ''.
- doMDY
- Displays values in Month, Day, Year order and uses the format specification 'mm/dd/yyyy'. EditMask is set to '99/99/9999;1;_'.
- doDMY
- Displays values in Day, Month, Year order and uses the format specification 'dd/mm/yyyy'. EditMask is set to '99/99/9999;1;_'.
- doYMD
- Displays values in Year, Month, Day order and uses the format specification 'yyyy/mm/dd'. EditMask is set to '9999/99/99;1;_'.
Setting a new value for the property causes SetDateMask to be called to update the EditMask for the control.
DateOrder is also used when the value in Date is converted to a String type and stored in the Text property.
Use DateFormat for the format specification used when DateOrder is doNone.
