在Windows7下使用Delphi7程序发生奇怪的区域性/日期时间问题

I have noticed that under English
language Windows XP/Vista/7 systems
many accented characters appear
non-accented (ie.: o instead of ?,u
instead of ?) in Form and Label
Captions.

Delphi 7应用程序是非unicode(除非您使用TNT组件之类的组件),因此您需要在Windows中检查非Unicode应用程序的活动CodePage.在Win7中,转到“控制面板”|地区和语言|行政|更改系统区域设置,并更改Windows的默认ANSI CodePage.

What I’ve also noticed is that on
these systems DateToStr will output
11/17/2010 instead of 2010.11.17 –
which is the standard localized
format. The funny thing is that I’ve
checked it under the regional
settings,and the default date format
is set to yyyy.mm.dd – why is
DateToStr giving me back dd/mm/yyyy
instead?

这似乎与以下报告相同：

它似乎是Windows中的一个错误.我在为斯洛文尼亚客户编写的一个项目中遇到了同样的问题.我告诉客户将当前日期/时间设置更改为不同的设置,保存更改,然后返回日期/时间设置,并将其更改回所需的格式.那样可以解决问题.

同样在上面的链接中,提到了编程解决方法：

来自S.B.Christensen：

Hi Tim

I just had the same issu as you (also
doing Delphi development).

If you wish to avoid your users to do
the workaround themselves,use the
following unit as the first in your
project:

unit Win7;

interface

uses SysUtils,Windows;

implementation

initialization
SetThreadLocale(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT);
GetFormatSettings;
end.

我自己没有测试过代码,因为以前的解决方法对我来说很好.
