How the product handles dates:
Windows CE for Palm-size PC Devices clock and calendar apps and other applications make a call to the Operating System for the current date. The Operating System makes a hardware call to the OEM hardware registers for the time data.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
Month and Year are always displayed in four digit long format. There is no 2 digit date format display
Common date usage errors:
Windows CE Operating System
- Windows CE Operating System is dependent upon the OEM and their implementation of the OEM's real-time clock APIs. The OEM must provide the correct information in their OEM Abstraction Layer/hardware to maintain proper date handling.
- There are no four digit short date formats for the following international locales in the Regional Settings applet in Control Panel: Basque, Catalan, Dutch (Belgian), Dutch (Standard), English (Australian), English (Canadian), English (Caribbean), English (Ireland), English (New Zealand), English (South Africa), English (United Kingdom), French (Belgian), French (Canadian), German (Liechtenstein), German (Swiss), Italian (Swiss), Spanish (Mexican), Spanish (Modern Sort), Spanish (Traditional Sort).
Four-digit year formats for these locales will not be available in some applications, such as Calendar Day View, Tasks, Inbox, and Shell Browser.
Inbox:
- POP3 protocol allows for both a two-digit and four-digit year, but if the POP3 Transport receives a two-digit year, than the current yearÆs century is used. i.e., if a message was sent with a date of 2/1/99, and the current year is 2001, then the messages date is translated as 2/1/2099.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
- The clock application for each OEM device should be verified by setting date to beyond 2001.
