Sandor, just to let you know, all I did was go into the Date & Time System
Preference, and do the following:
Set the Time options to
- Use a 24 hour clock
- Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist
- Copy and paste the contents into the email.
Set the Ti
Alex,
This is interesting, and thanks for digging it up.
Using this plist it appears that I could use [[NSUserDefaults
standardUserDefaults] addSuiteNamed:@"com.apple.menuextra.clock"] and access
this data with the key 'DateFormat'. I'm not sure I want to do this. I expect
there is a degree

OK. All that NSLocale stuff seemed like "The right way to do it™" but…
Let's see if this gets you what you want.
Read this file:

In that case, see if a call like this would work for you in all supported
locales:
Objective-C
formattedDate = [NSDateFormatter localizedStringFromDate:date
dateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle
timeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
or:
Swift
let formattedDate = DateFormatter.localizedString

What I’m getting at is how relevant is it to your app that you know if and
where the time-of-day indicators exist in addition to the 24-hour setting.
Answering those questions should be what determines your next steps. As
mentioned, the alarm clock has a long history on the Mac whereas the Uni

Is there a problem with using +[NSDateFormatter
localizedStringFromDate:dateStyle:timeStyle:]? Depending on your needs, you
might also consider +[NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar].
A user typically “sets” their region settings when they set up their Mac, and

In any case, this will help you out to no end.

And note that the case of the letters you use in your formatter matter.

I just think it's weird that there are two checkboxes. It seem
In the Date & Time preference panel, I assume that you're referring to the
option on the Clock tab. If so, those settings refer only to the menubar clock
display.

I am working on a small application where the primary function is to display
the time to the user. My hope was to honor the user's preference setting. I
am either missing something or honoring the user's preference is harder than
expected.
So, there are two places to set 24 hr time display.
