Hi Ryan

I can see in the Application Architect's Help file that the StyleSchemeTypes.xml file should be in VFS Explorer under Configuration/Global, but I don't seem to have one there. 

What I am trying to do is:

• Make it so I can format currency values as right-aligned.  Currently all my currency values seem to be left-aligned (which is a stupid default behavior!)


• In some cases, like Unit Cost, I need to show it as $12.3456 (i.e. four decimal places, not two)


• Change the currency symbol from £ to $.  I cannot see anywhere where this is set.  I saw some articles about this being a Windows bug.  The environment I am using is an Amazon EC2 one using Sage's standard Slx 7.5.3 AMI.  It is on Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2 and the latest MS updates.

Many thanks!

Paul,

   This file is actually located in the following folder on your AA machine, not in the VFS:

      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sage\Platform\Configuration\Global\StyleSchemeTypes.xml?

There arre 2 styles defined by default - 'Bevel' and 'Negative Number'.  You can add whatever you'd like to the list.  You'll need to exit and re-start AA to pick up the changes after editing the file.

As to your other isses, you'll likely need to abandon the currency control to get the pound sign and 4 decimal places.  You could use a numeric control, and add the following format string for your text binding:

£{0:#,0.0000}

As for the alignment, the numeric control is right aligned.  You do have the option to right or left align numeric values in datagrids.
