Yes. DisplayFormat on the static TField allows you to control how it is displayed.
Myles. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Bird Sent: Tuesday, 29 July 2008 4:43 p.m. To: 'NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List' Subject: [DUG] DBEdit 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?
