Description
How weekday is interpreted depends on the firstdayofweek parameter.
If abbreviate is true, a 3 letter abbreviation is returned, if false or omitted, the whole name is returned.
firstdayofweek is an optional parameter specified as follows:
| value | first day of week | constant |
|---|---|---|
| omitted | sunday | |
| 0 | local settings | fbUseSystem |
| 1 | sunday | fbSunday |
| 2 | monday | fbMonday |
| 3 | tuesday | fbTuesday |
| 4 | wednesday | fbWednesday |
| 5 | thursday | fbThursday |
| 6 | friday | fbFriday |
