Custom Regional Settings

[msd 5]

Hello,

 

I have a lot of problems with different FormatSetting and Delphi apps; most of them are using dot on numeric keyboards and at the dot at the end of datetime, and I have small problems with the thousand separator.

Does Delphi support some kind of isolated Format Settings where I can set my custom Date, Time, DateTime, Decima, Thusand separator, and so. on?

In this scenario, the user can set isolated settings for the app, no matter how Windows works, and the user can use, for example, the pain problem. (dot) on a numeric keyboard.

Now that I have dbEdit connected to FloatField and the user input is 123.45, it converts to 12345.00. Another problem is 123,345.67. I get invalid floatpoint values.

 

Thanks for any advice and information in advance.

Look up TFormatSettings. Many, possibly all, formatting functions accept such a variable as additional parameter.

This doesn't change the way input into controls works though.
