格式化区域设置适当的日期和月份而不是年份

Question

Is there a way to format a locale-appropriate day and month without a year via Win32 (in C++)? For example, I would like to see 10/31 for the US locale and 31/10 for the UK locale. I know that GetDateFormat accepts a format string, but then the day and month are locked into whatever positions I specify in the format string, which will not be appropriate for all locales.

Answer 1

You can use GetLocaleInfo to query the user's date format in order to build your own format string.

LOCALE_IDATE returns a value indicating the relative order of day and month, alternatively LOCALE_SSHORTDATE returns the short date format string. In the latter case you would need to parse this yourself to work out the relative order.
