When in runtime, I only input the time in format AM/PM. Is any way to change format of time to 24h? Looking forward to your advice, thanks.

Best regards, Frink Dear Frink, I've already configured the time format of window system to 24H format. I added a analog clock, it showed time well. But the I/O field of time input tag is still in AM/PM format. The screen capture was attached. Please take a look! Attachment Time 24h.png (948 Downloads)

In Runtime every Language you activated or switch to is use out of the windows Regional settings in Operation system. so for example you have activated vietnamese then you have to look in the Regional settings of vietnamesien Language in Windows. Bye Murof
