Hello Lukas,

I have add this in my release, it is called StartDay property. If you want, I may send you latest release on E-mail with this option on.

Hi Boki,

thank you for your supply, but I think it will work till the next release
Is "Monday" the default value for the property StartDay?
Nowadays in nearly all countries monday is the beginning of the week, isn't it?

Hello Lukas,

Sunday is still default value, because then this will be changed in existing applications too.

I am thinking about one non visual NxLocal component to handle all this settings globaly.

Hi Boki,

I looked for the month names in your sourcecode and think, it could be better when you use the local names:

Your code:

CODE

function TNxDatePopup.GetDayInWeekChar(DayInWeek: Integer): Char;
begin
  Result := 'S';
  if Assigned(FDayNames) and InRange(DayInWeek, 1, 7)
    and (FDayNames.Count >= 7) then Result := FDayNames[DayInWeek - 1][1] else
  case DayInWeek of
      1: Result := 'S';
      2: Result := 'M';
      3: Result := 'D';
      4: Result := 'M';
      5: Result := 'D';
      6: Result := 'F';
      7: Result := 'S';
  end;
end;

Possible method:

CODE

function TNxDatePopup.GetDayInWeekChar(DayInWeek: Integer): Char;
begin
  Result := 'S';
  if Assigned(FDayNames) and InRange(DayInWeek, 1, 7)
    and (FDayNames.Count >= 7) then Result := FDayNames[DayInWeek - 1][1] else
  Result := LongDayNames[DayInWeek][1];
end;

And there exists a second method named "LongMonthNames" for the months.

Think about it and tell us your decision

Hello Lukas,

I was think about this too, and I will include it. Thank you.

PS. I only have a small problem with LongDayNames because there is now a StartDay property. When Monday is StartDay, I will write LongDayNames[DayInWeek + 1][1].

regards

[Boki (Berg)]

Here is a final code:

CODE

  if Assigned(FDayNames) and InRange(DayInWeek, 1, 7)
    and (FDayNames.Count >= 7) then Result := FDayNames[DayInWeek - 1][1] else
  case FStartDay of
    dwSunday: Result := LongDayNames[DayInWeek][1];
    dwMonday: if DayInWeek = 7 then Result := LongDayNames[1][1]
      else Result := LongDayNames[DayInWeek + 1][1];
  end;

If someone is interested for new release (developement version), please contact me.

Hi,

I think the first day of the week is also obtainable thru the locale info.

Hello Wim,

This will be great, but I couldn't find it

Hi all,

i do here found an interesting thread about locale and first-day-of-week problem.
Best would be to leave it up to people using the application... and btw i'm interested in receiving your new version, even its only development status...

Hello Coasting,

I have read this thread. Thank you.

But, I have thinking that is maybe better to have a property as I have now, or add a one new item in property list (dwSunday, dwMonday, dwAutomatic). When it is set dwAutomatic, it will read from GetLocaleInfo.

Please contact me via e-mail and I will send you developement version. Please note that you will receive it tomorow since I need to close some open code gaps first.

Best regards

[coasting]

I think yr intended property list will suite my needs...

have sent you an email under registered account

Hi Boki,

safely arrived here and working well.
Noted that you are giong to put all locale setting in separate component TNXLocalizer. Suppose that this will in future hold all loacale settings for Berg Components?

[Boki (Berg)]

Hello Coasting,

Yes, but it still in developement, I don't recommend using it yet but any suggestion for this component is welcome.

Best regards

[wvd_vegt]

Hi Boki

From my madExcept plugins (see the two constants, both may be handy for the popup calendar):

UpdateLocaleStatus(fIFirstDayOfWeek, fLocale, LOCALE_IFIRSTDAYOFWEEK);
UpdateLocaleStatus(fIFirstWeekOfYear, fLocale, LOCALE_IFIRSTWEEKOFYEAR);

[Boki (Berg)]

Hello Wim,

I have add it already with LocaleInfo, if user set StartDay to dwAutomatic. If you want, I may send you a new release.
