IHeaderFooter::dateShort Property

Sets or retrieves the current date in short format.

Syntax

HRESULT IHeaderFooter::get_dateShort(BSTR *p);
HRESULT IHeaderFooter::put_dateShort(BSTR v);

Parameters

  • p
    Pointer to a variable of type BSTR that receives the current date in short format.
  • v
    BSTR that specifies the current date in short format.

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error value otherwise.

Remarks

The memory returned in p can be freed with SysFreeString.

The HeaderFooter behavior will calculate an initial value for the IHeaderFooter::dateShort property automatically when the HeaderFooter behavior is first instantiated. This value can be changed.

Typically, the short date uses the format M/d/yyyy, such as 10/21/1999. The actual formatting of the date on your system is determined by the Regional Settings under the Date tab in the Control Panel.
