erickengelke | DateToStr() is great for the US, or GB, but not for Canada where we have to navigate to the two systems so either m/d/y or d/m/y is common locally, and ISO date (y/m/d) is not agreed to yet.
It would be nice have a user definable long date string, like 5-Apr-2018 which would be understood by all. Merely linking in a new DateToStr/StrToDate doesn't change the behaviour of the date picker. Unless someone has an easy way to convert all dates to something like 5-Apr-2018, I'll probably have to copy and modify the source code - I haven't looked that deep yet.

Alan Questell Richmond Community College | You could write a quick function that separates the year, month, and day from the date (using YearOf, DayOf, and MonthOf) and returns the date in the format you want.

Ralf Mimoun | That would not help if you want the date format everywhere: calendar, internal functions etc. I looked at the code in webcore.wbs. You can add something
FULL_MONTHNAME_FORMAT = 'MMMM'; PART_MONTHNAME_FORMAT = 'MMM'; and arrays of string to hold the month names. TFormatSettings.ValidateShortDateComp is modified in minutes, just like DateToStr. BUT: you are limited to "." as delimiter, no way to get something like "5-Apr-2018" of even "22. Mai 2018".

Thanks Ralf, I've come to the conclusion that there is no trivial answer and so I would add my own DateTime picker to get around these limitations and a few nice things I'd like to see added to the control.

You can add something I implemented my own calendar with user definable date functions. So a customer can enter: 1/5/2017 or January 5, 2017 or Jan 5, 2017 I added basic French support too.
