There are two ways to determine the format mask:
- Local Settings – Using Local Settings, the text is formatted with the settings currently applied to the operating system.
- The format mask is manually applied to each parameter.
There are disadvantages to both of these methods of determining the mask, but there is a third option. The local settings can be used to change any parameter format. Set the value of the parameter after you’ve set the flag next to it.
