getting the PC's date format
Hi, I have the need to know the PC's date format so that I can correctly enter a date field. Unfortunately, this can vary in different languages. Utilities.ShortDateFormat works, but I see that...

AlumniHi Jeff,
In TestComplete 7 and later, you can get the short date format specified in the computer's regional settings using the aqEnvironment.GetLocaleInfo method:
Even though Utilities.ShortDateFormat is obsolete, is there some other reason I shouldn't use this? What replaced this?

But since your primary goal is to format a date, you can simply use the aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr method instead of checking the date format:
// Enter Patient DOB
var dt = aqDateTime.SetDateElements(1960, 10, 15);
textBox = patientGB.textDateOfBirth;
textBox.Keys(aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(dt, "%x") + "[Tab]");
