Re: Variable in Dialog Doesn’t Honor Number Formatting

Thank you Miyako!

I changed the compatibility setting, but that didn’t help for this.

I then traced and found, as you suspected, that the variable was text. Makes 
sense, as it’s a enterable box. Declaring it properly fixed the issue.

Thanks!

the value type in property list does not set the variable type except for form 
local variables.

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

did you check:

Use period and comma as placeholders in numeric formats:

?

Variable in Dialog Doesn’t Honor Number Formatting

[Sannyasin Siddhanathaswami via 4D_Tech]

Aloha,

Super weird issue. I’m trying to do a simple $ format in a variable on a 
dialog. Choosing a number format of "$###,##0.00” doesn’t display properly. I 
enter “50”, I get $0.50. Even when using this:
OBJECT SET FORMAT(*;"ShippingCost";"$###,##0.00”)

But in the same dialog, if I do the same code on a column of a list box, it 
works fine:
OBJECT SET FORMAT(*;"Column1";"$###,##0.00”)

Even on the same dialog, I have another variable that has a collection 
expression: “colAdjustData.sum(“ExtCost”)” and that displays properly with the 
same OBJECT SET FORMAT command.

I looked through all of the properties of this variable, but don’t see anything 
weird. Creating a new variable also doesn’t work. These are all numeric 
variables.

Any clues?
