Hi all,

I'm translating dispatch commands to regular API calls for a project I'm 
currently working on:
http://www.paolo-mantovani.org/downloads/DispatchToApiRecorder/

I've a 'problem' with the following dispatch command in Calc:
        .uno:NumberFormatIncDecimals

As you can imagine, this command modify the number format in the selected 
cell/range, adding a decimal place.

Tha 'API translation' that I've found is really huge! about 26 rows.
You can see it at the end of this post.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but in this case, the code is generated 
from a macro recorder, and the target is the average user, so my concern is 
to keep things as simple as more as it is possible.

So my question is:
Perhaps there is a more convenient way to add/remove decimal places from a 
cell number format via API?


thank you
Paolo Mantovani
