  // To show AM/PM

  // 24-hour clock: Be sure to set Kind to dtkTime
  
DateTime_SetFormat(DateTimePickerTest.Handle, pChar('H:mm:ss'));
  
  // To show Date and Time, Datum und Zeit anzeigen
  // Note that you can only edit the date or the time depending
  // on the Kind (dtkTime or dtkDate).
  
SendMessage(DateTimePicker1.Handle, DTM_SETFORMAT, 0, Longint(PChar('dd/MM/yyyy hh:ss')));

  // You could also use the DateTime_SetFormat macro:
  
DateTime_SetFormat(DateTimePicker1.Handle, PChar('M/d/yyy'));
  
  // Instead of using the DateTime_SetFormat function, you can
  // send a message to the control directly:
  
sFormat := 'dd-MMMM-yyyy';
  DateTimePicker1.Perform(DTM_SETFORMAT, 0, DWORD(sFormat));
end;

// Show the Week Number in a TDateTimePicker

procedure DateToWeek(dtDate: TDateTime; var AWeek, AYear: Word);
const
  
FIRST_WEEKDAY: Integer = 2;
  FIRST_WEEKDATE: Integer = 4;
var

  AWeek := (Trunc(dtDate - EncodeDate(AYear, 1, 1)) div 7) + 1;
end;
