Hi,

I tried AutoFormat(true) and AutoFormat(false), but in both cases I got the wrong result ...

what I did:
- open gui
- click on arrow (calender opens)
- click on current day
- switch output and scan format (output - string is still the same)
- click on arrow and view calender (wrong date)
- switch output and scan format to old style (output - string is still the same)
- click on arrow and view calender (correct date)

I use the following lines to switch:

	if( ... )
	{
		SetDateScan("mdy");
		SetLanguage( LNG_( 'E', 'N', 'G', 'B' ) );
		SetDateFormat("%2:02d/%3:02d/%1:4d");
	}
	else
	{
		SetDateScan("dmy");
		SetLanguage( LNG_( 'D', 'E', 'D', 'E' ) );
		SetDateFormat("%3:02d/%2:02d/%1:4d");
	}

I think this problem could be solved if all Controls derived from Date, receive a Signal that the Strings have been changed.
