This is really bizarre.

 

I store a snapshot of all the regional settings when the program is started,
to prevent issues if the date format is changed while the program is
running.  I store a couple of dates in a string using DateToStr and use
StrToDate to convert it back later.

 

var FS: TFormatSettings;

GetLocaleFormatSettings(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, FS);

 

My default DateDelimiter is "/", and FS.DateDelimiter shows as being "/".

 

If I then change the date delimiter in the Windows Regional Settings to "-",
and then test FS.DateDelimiter, it has changed to a "-" !!!!

 

How is this possible?
