Description

Formats the arguments from an array, placing the result in a buffer.

This function formats the series of arguments in the open array Args. Formatting is controlled by the Unicode format string Format (whose length is given by FmtLen); the results are returned in Buffer (whose length is given by BufLen). The function returns the number of Unicode characters in the formatted string.

Note: Both buffers contain wide (Unicode) characters. BufLen and FmtLen must specify the number of Unicode characters in their respective buffers, not the number of bytes.

For information on the format strings, see Format strings.

The first form of WideFormatBuf is not thread-safe, because it uses localization information contained in global variables. The second form of WideFormatBuf, which is thread-safe, refers to localization information contained in the AFormatSettings parameter. Before calling the thread-safe form of WideFormatBuf, you must populate AFormatSettings with localization information. To populate AFormatSettings with a set of default locale values, call TFormatSettings.Create.
