I have a firemonkey TGrid control that seems to be detecting that the text inside of a cell is a datetime, and then applying its own formatting to the cell. For example, I have three strings that are generated and put into a row on the grid.
FSch_Text = StdDate( FOrd_Evt->SCH_DATE ) + " PM";
FGive_Text = StdDate( FOrd_Evt->GIVE_DATE) + " PM";
FPost_Text = StdDate( FOrd_Evt->POST_DATE ) + " " + StdTime( FOrd_Evt->POST_TIME );
When these strings are placed into cells on the grid, one would expect the results would look something like this:
12/30/2015 PM | 12/30/2015 PM | 12/30/2015 1:00PM
However, the actual results I get are:
PM 12/30/2015 | PM 12/30/2015 | 1:00PM 12/30/2015
(note that in the third string, date comes first when the string is made, however the time comes first once its in the grid cell)
I deduced that the grid was detecting dates and applying its own formatting by modifying the creation of my strings like so:
FSch_Text = "Foo " + StdDate( FOrd_Evt->SCH_DATE ) + " PM";
FGive_Text = "Bar " + StdDate( FOrd_Evt->GIVE_DATE) + " PM";
FPost_Text = "Foobar " + StdDate( FOrd_Evt->POST_DATE ) + " " + StdTime( FOrd_Evt->POST_TIME );
After doing this, the strings show up in their cells just like how one would expect:
Foo 12/30/2015 PM | Bar 12/30/2015 PM | Foobar 12/30/2015 1:00PM
Therefore, it looks like the TGrid control is automatically applying a date format where time comes first, followed by the date.
I looked through the list of properties / options for the TGrid control, and could find nothing about setting the format of dates.
Is what I am seeing documented behaviour that I have missed somehow? How can I control the format of a date inside of a cell?
