Re: AW: Programmatically change the number format?
it is simplest to define the format in the structure under formats and filters
giving the format a name like "MyNumericFormat"
then in code you can simply refer to the format as "|MyNumericalFormat"
NOTE: the pipe (vertical bar) in front of the name.
this way you can use the same format throughout the system, and if your needs
change you can change it in one place and not have to search all over the
system for, and change every occurrence of the format, where you to simply type
the format inline (in your code directly).

AW: Programmatically change the number format?
Hi,
I suppose you want to display noting (or a special value, e.g. "-") if the
value is zero?
Defining a number format has the following pattern: "positive values{;negative
values};{zero}".
Example: "### ### ### ###.00;-### ### ### ###.00;-"
In other words: you just need to define one display format, no need to apply an
other display format for zero values.
HTH,
Olivier

Betreff: Programmatically change the number format?
In a listbox with a selection of records I have some columns with numbers.
They have the number format 0.00. Not all the cells have numbers greater than
0, so is it possible to programmatically change the format to #.## in cell
where the number is 0?

Re: Programmatically change the number format?
You treat each of the column objects separately. So let's say your columns are named "col_1", "col_2" and so on. (This is the object name.) Use OBJECT SET FORMAT to manage the formatting from there. https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17.4/OBJECT-SET-FORMAT.301-4882942.en.html On Sun, Mar 15, 2020 at 12:09 PM wangel--- via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > In a listbox with a selection of records I have some columns with numbers. > They have the number format 0.00.
