    When we install Windows with Bulgarian Regional Settings the default date format setting is dd.mm.yyyy 'г.'

      Hello Dimitar,
      We have examined this problem, but have found that it occurs due to an issue in the Embarcadero Delphi IDE. Please refer to the following bug report:
        http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=96844
      As a temporary workaround, please use the following code:

      Delphi
      uses  
...  
  cxFormats, cxDateUtils,  
...  
initialization  
 FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat := cxGetLocalShortDateFormat;  
 cxFormatController.GetFormats;

      Thanks,
      Valdemar
