Following the MSDN documentation for DateTime.ToString method, you can use:

Code: Select all

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr-FR");
      MessageBox.Show(DateTime.Today.ToString("dddd"));
    }

The instruction for giving to teechart the time format is chart.Axes.Bottom.Labels.DateTimeFormat = "dddd" , not "toString" possibility here...

Have you tried adding the line:

Code: Select all

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr-FR");

before the line:

Code: Select all

chart.Axes.Bottom.Labels.DateTimeFormat = "dddd"

in your code?

Thanks, it runs, but this change does also other changes in the application like change the decimal separator, in the numeric fileds of the applicaion. Is not possible only to change the language of the datetime format?

This is not a TeeChart issue, but a .NET Framework issue. As far as I know, changing the CurrentCulture is the only way to change the language the .NET Framework uses to display DateTime values.
