How to display a number without decimal point using a Numeric Control? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I am using a Numeric Control to display a Number.[Ex - 23,756.00]
I want to display the number without the decimal point.
Setting the property FormatType = "Decimal" didn't helped. Though it removed the decimal point but it also removed the comma from the number.

Thanks.

Good timing for your question. I have just figured out how to do this, so here is the best way to go with it:

- Use a Text control (or a label, but not the Numeric Control - Then again, I haven't tried using the Numeric Control.).
- On the Binding, add a Formatting string and use the following one: "#,##0"

E.g.:
WebEntityBinding myCtrlBinding = new WebEntityBinding("MyNumber", myControl, "Text", "{0:#,##0}", "0");

This will give you the result you are looking for.

Nice! i can confirm that the format works with the Numeric Control, and its better because it limits the characters.

I did it in the "Data Bindings" field. Obbiously its a "native" AppArchitect form. I just pasted the {0:#,##0.00} (i want the 2 decimals) on the Format String field that is always below the Binding field.

I'm preety sure the procedure you described should work on custom forms also.

Now i can change currency fields to numeric and use my "es-PA" Panama localization (we use "B/." as currency symbol and it always shows "invalid format string").

Edit: Sorry, i forgot to mention, that the numeric field must have the "Format Type" set to "Numeric" to work properly.
