DateTimePicker set Calendar and Time culture

Question

Is it possible set specific culture for DateTimePicker control? I would like use this specific culture on format name of moths and time format. For Example I create specific culture:

CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("sk-Sk");

Thanks for advice.

You could try adding:

FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(
                typeof(FrameworkElement),
                new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(
                        XmlLanguage.GetLanguage("sk-Sk")));

or

FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(
                typeof(FrameworkElement),
                new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(
                        XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)));

to your applications StartupEventHandler

    public App()
    {

        DispatcherUnhandledException += new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherUnhandledExceptionEventHandler(App_DispatcherUnhandledException);
        Startup += new StartupEventHandler(App_Startup);
    }


    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(
                typeof(FrameworkElement),
                new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(
                        XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)));

        base.OnStartup(e);
    }

This should set the culture info for all WPF controls (not sure if you really want to just change the culture for the DateTimePicker)
