RE: [DUG]: Display Formatting

[Max Renshaw-Fox]

From the help files:   Format('%8.2f', [123.456]). A width specifier sets the minimum field width for a conversion. If the resulting string is shorter than the minimum field width, it is padded with blanks to increase the field width. The default is to right-justify the result by adding blanks in front of the value, but if the format specifier contains a left-justification indicator (a "-" character preceding the width specifier), the result is left-justified by adding blanks after the value.   The "8" in the example is the width specifier - it only works for fixed width fonts though as spaces aren't any good in Windows.   Depending on where you are displaying it there are a number of options for right justifying.   Max     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of richter Sent: Friday, 31 March 2000 01:13 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Display Formatting I'm doing a      format('%3.2m',[myCalculation]);   to display a result in a currency format, but i'm getting :                 US$ 3.43             US$ 112.17             US$ 98.54   and wanna get the following :               US$          3.43             US$       112.17             US$         98.54   how can i do this ????   Thanks in advance..   Joćo   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
