Custom DateTime codes Issues

[Haddood]

according to the wiki (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Custom_DateTime_codes) we could use Microsoft formats for DtCustom ... however when I try

{DtCustom.h}
or
{DtCustom.H}

the command do not function  ... but using  {DtCustom.hh} or  {DtCustom.HH} it does work ...

This is not a bug. You need to read the text quoted from Microsoft that is in the blue box.

In other words, you need to use:

{DtCustom. H}

or

{DtCustom. h}

or

{DtCustom.%H}

or

{DtCustom.%h}

etc.

The first two methods will add a space before the hour, however.

I'm not really sure if I understand it correct, but in the Wiki is explained that you must use a space or percent for single time format like " h" or " H"  

A custom date and time format string consists of two or more characters. Date and time formatting methods interpret any single-character string as a standard date and time format string. If they do not recognize the character as a valid format specifier, they throw a FormatException. For example, a format string that consists only of the specifier "h" is interpreted as a standard date and time format string. However, in this particular case, an exception is thrown because there is no "h" standard date and time format specifier.
To use any of the custom date and time format specifiers as the only specifier in a format string (that is, to use the "d", "f", "F", "g", "h", "H", "K", "m", "M", "s", "t", "y", "z", ":", or "/" custom format specifier by itself), include a space before or after the specifier, or include a percent ("%") format specifier before the single custom date and time specifier.
For example, "%h" is interpreted as a custom date and time format string that displays the hour represented by the current date and time value. You can also use the " h" or "h " format string, although this includes a space in the result string along with the hour. The following example illustrates these three format strings.

Argghhh, you are faster

hmmm ... never really understood what is in that blue box 

sounds like geeks English

my mistake ... but seriously I did not undertand that box ... maybe throwing clear examples in the wiki will help ...

finally my apology for a false bug report 

P.S. is that space is a requirement by some dlls in the back or it is due to VC ?

Follow the link on the wiki page . As mentioned, the wiki is quoting Microsoft.  The syntax is Microsoft 's.
