I have a floating point figure in a table/ClientDataSet that shows in a DBEdit. Sometimes when it is small it reverts to scientific notation, eg 1.7E-6 which means nothing to the users. I made a long edit box to show the 0.0000017 etc - now if only I can make Delphi show it that way. Is there a way to specifiy the formatting of floats? - I looked around and didn't see anything. Related - I also want to occasionally display an integer with a special format in a DBEdit - eg 20080729. Yes its a date and obviously I would like to show it as eg 29-Jul-08 or some similar date format. Any suggestions? (D5 Enterprise, and/or D2007)
