LOCALE_SDURATION

Windows Vista and later: Time duration format composed of format pictures listed in the following table. The format is similar to the format for LOCALE_STIMEFORMAT. As for LOCALE_STIMEFORMAT, this format can also include any string of characters enclosed in single quotes. Formats can include, for example, "h:mm:ss", or "d'd 'h'h 'm'm 's.fff's'". In comparison with LOCALE_STIMEFORMAT, there are additional format pictures for fractions of a second. Because this format is for duration, not time, it does not specify a 12- or 24-hour clock system, or include an AM/PM indicator. This constant might be used, for example, for a multi-media application that displays file time or a sporting event application that displays finish times.
