There are cases where that's totally appropriate. Maybe in a report it
requires a leading zero. You still want to respect the user's settings
in all other areas.

I am trying to format dates for display. So far I have been using
this
formatter:
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]
autorelease];
[dateFormatter setFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:kCFDateFormatterMediumStyle];
Now, I want to add leading zeros to days and month values. It seems
there is no way of teaching the above formatter to do so. It goes
with
whatever format the user has set in System Preferences.
Thus I am trying the below formatter:
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]
autorelease];
[dateFormatter setFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd/mm/yy hh:MM:ss a"];
This works fine, except for the fact that I have now hardcoded the
fact that I display day/month/year rather than month/day/year.
It would seem that NSLocale should know about the user's preferences.
Yet I can find no way to query it for date format.
So you want to use the user's preference and yet you don't. The
choice
of leading zeros or no is part of the user's choice. But if you must,
you could get the user's format string and carefully alter it to add
leading zeros.
