The SSSetTwoDigitYearMax function has the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
| hWnd | Window handle of the fpSpread control |
| nTwoDigitYearMax | Sets the four-digit year value being used to calculate the century |
Remarks
This function is applied to the entire workbook, including all sheets in the control.
The control determines the century value for two-digit years by placing the year in the range between the value specified by the SSSetTwoDigitYearMax function and that value minus 99 years. To change the calculation year, provide a four-digit value.
The default value used for calculations is 2059, which specifies that centuries are calculated as falling within the range between the year 1960 (2059 minus 99) and the year 2059, inclusive. For example, if the user provides a date with the year value 63, the control would interpret that year as the year 1963, because 1963 falls between 1960 and 2059.
| Tip: For best results, prompt your user for and represent dates with four-digit year values. Four-digit year values eliminate possible misunderstanding of year data. |
The maximum year you can specify for the calculation year is 9999. The minimum year you can specify for the calculation year is 1100.
You can specify whether date cells display the century for date values by calling the SSSetTypeDate function.
Return Value
SSGetTwoDigitYearMax: Returns the year value being used to calculate century values. The year returned is a four-digit year.
SSSetTwoDigitYearMax: TRUE if the function completes successfully; FALSE otherwise.
