Currently, NSDatePicker always uses the date style specified in the (system-wide) Language & Region system preferences pane. It is not easily possible to force a different format. My use case for this is to force a date picker to use 24-hour time in an app where that makes sense even though the vast majority of users will not want to use 24 hour time system-wide. It is possible to provide NSDatePicker with a formatter using the formatter property inherited from NSControl, however to my knowledge, this has no effect. tl;dr: Please provide an API to force NSDatePicker to use a particular format to display its date/time.
