In my app, I want to have an NSTextField for formatting times only.
I see that NSDateFormatter (the 10.4 version) has the ability to do
this using the setTimeStyle: method
I need to display hours and minutes only. I could just force the
user to my chosen format, but I'd rather they have their own choice
of 12/24 hour clock etc.
I figured that the NSDateFormatterShortStyle constant would pull what
I needed, but the docs say:
"The format for these date and time styles is not exact because they
depend on the locale, user preference settings, and the operating
system version. Do not use these constants if you want an exact format."
So, if I want to set a date formatter up to display hours and minutes
only, where can I reliably pull this information from? Will I have
to take the user's preference from NSUserDefaults and manually parse
it? NSDatePicker seems to manage things properly by itself!
Mike.
