Examples
To clarify, consider the following examples. These code snippets illustrate how to specify the birthday date of the contact person, and save this contact to Address Book.
Delphi:
var
Contact: TAddressBookContact;
Locale: TFormatSettings;
Dates : TContactDates;
begin
Contact := AddressBook1.CreateContact(AddressBook1.DefaultSource);
try
// Specify the locale to use
Locale := TFormatSettings.Create('en-US');
Dates := TContactDates.Create;
try
// Add the birthday of the contact person
Dates.AddDate(TContactDate.TLabelKind.Birthday,StrToDate('12/17/1990',Locale));
Contact.Dates := Dates;
finally
Dates.Free;
end;
// Save the newly created contact
AddressBook1.SaveContact(Contact);
finally
Contact.Free;
end;
end;
C++Builder:
TAddressBookContact *Contact;
TContactDates *dates;
// Create a new contact
Contact = AddressBook1->CreateContact(AddressBook1->DefaultSource());
__try {
// Specify the locale to use
TFormatSettings locale = TFormatSettings::Create("en-US");
dates = new TContactDates();
__try {
// Add the birthday date of the contact person
dates->AddDate(TContactDate::TLabelKind::Birthday,
StrToDate("12/17/1990", locale));
Contact->Dates = dates;
}
__finally {
dates->Free();
}
// Save contact to Address Book
AddressBook1->SaveContact(Contact);
}
__finally {
Contact->Free();
}
