Package:

Defines the culturally appropriate format of displaying numbers. This is based on current system culture settings.

Extends

OfficeExtension.ClientObject

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.12 ]

Properties

context	The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
dateSeparator	Gets the string used as the date separator. This is based on current system settings.
longDatePattern	Gets the format string for a long date value. This is based on current system settings.
longTimePattern	Gets the format string for a long time value. This is based on current system settings.
shortDatePattern	Gets the format string for a short date value. This is based on current system settings.
timeSeparator	Gets the string used as the time separator. This is based on current system settings.

Methods

load(options)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
toJSON()	Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.DatetimeFormatInfo object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.DatetimeFormatInfoData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
