Question
--------

How can I change the regional settings -- that is just one time 
in the application?

If I use:
ShortDateFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"; 

In one function does it have to be stated again in another f();

My problem
----------

If the user has the Windows regional settings to some other
countries, then they receive an error message like:
<___> is not a valid floating point number 
<___> is not a valid date and time


My Question
-----------

Can I set the variables like ShortDateFormat once only or do
they have to be set in functions throughout the application?

Please provide example if possible where you have an English 
(USA) code project that is used once or in every f().  

Pardon my English.

Thanks,

Caleb

Hi:

I tried :
   setlocale( LC_ALL , "English_United States.437" );

but the program still gave a not a valid floating point error.

The field was "1,3" instead of "1.3"

If I use :
  DecimalSeparator = '.';

Is it a permanent change or does the statement have to be 
repeated in each f() that has float values?


Thank you 

Caleb

AFAIK, DecimalSeparator changes the separator on global
app level, for example you can set it in constructor.
