determine if “24-hour clock” setting is set

Question

What\'s the best way to determine if the user has set the \"24-hour clock\" setting to true in Settings-Date+Time on the Windows Phone ?

Can I get this information t

Answer 1

The system clock type can be retrieved using:

string clockType = Windows.System.UserProfile.GlobalizationPreferences.Clocks.FirstOrDefault();

This will return the string 24HourClock if the 24 hour setting is on in the device settings or 12HourClock if the setting is off.
