Hi,

I want to create datagrid cell template with system time format. The time format should show 12/24 format base on system settings. Is the any way to get system time format in xaml.

HTML

<DataTemplate x:Key="TimeFieldCellTemplate">
        <TextBlock  Text="{Binding StringFormat=\{0:t\}}"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</DataTemplate>

Update:

XML

I found myself in the above data template adding ConverterCulture={x:Static glob:CultureInfo.CurrentCulture} this will take care.

<datatemplate x:key="TimeFieldCellTemplate">
        <textblock text="{Binding StringFormat=\{0:T\},ConverterCulture={x:Static glob:CultureInfo.CurrentCulture}}" horizontalalignment="Right"></textblock>
    </datatemplate>

Note: T= long date format, t= Small date format.

It may not be the exact solution you are searching for but, as a work-around you may consider it.

Find the system short time format in code behind using C# and then format the data in the datasource accordingly and then bind the datagrid.

Hope, it helps :)
