Modern Chrono DateTime ToLocaleTimeString

DateTime.ToLocaleTimeString

Returns the time of day as the machine's locale writes it, for display only.

Syntax

ToLocaleTimeString( byval style as int32 = lsShort ) as ustring

Notes

• Locale dependent, like every ToLocale* member: for display only, never for storage.
• The time half of ToLocaleString; ToLocaleDateString is the date half.
• A ustring, so a non-ASCII locale's text prints and displays intact.

Examples

#import "std/chrono"
using chrono

dim as DateTime d = DateTime( 2026, 8, 13, 14, 30, 5, 0 )

print len( d.ToLocaleTimeString( ) ) > 0      '' -1 (true)
print len( d.ToLocaleTimeString( lsLong ) ) > 0        '' -1 (true)
