Return Value

Success: True.
Failure: False.

Remarks

It is acceptable to include extra characters within the format string to produce a more rich display.
However, any nonformat characters must be enclosed within single quotes.
For example, the format string "'Today is:
    'hh':'m':'s ddddMMMdd', 'yyy" would produce output like "Today is: 04:22:31 Tuesday Mar 23, 1996".

Note: A DTP control tracks locale changes when it is using the default format string.
If you set a custom format string, it will not be updated in response to locale changes.
