Problem using displayformat with dollar currency...

rbuser

Hello,

I'm trying to use a displayformat like this

#,0.00 $;-#,0.00 $

but this seems not to work.
The amount (440,45) is showed like "440,4500 €". "€" is the normal currency
used in most cases.

If I use any other currency code, for instance "SFr" or "kr", everything is
working fine.

Is there a way to use "$" in DisplayFormat?

Hi Mark,

Once the "$" character is encountered in the display format string, the
value is considered a currency and formatted with the currency settings
of the current locale.

You can alter the way this is done in ReportBuilder by replacing the
TppDisplayFormat class or by altering the default currency character.

Hello,

the list of changes for version 16.01 says:
"DisplayFormat, Use FormatCurr when format contains CurrencyString"

Does that mean, that no workaround is needed anymore to solve the issue
described below? How would it work now?

Best regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

ReportBuilder still uses the currency symbol defined by the system (or
manually with the FormatSettings object). If you look at the source for
the TppDisplayFormat.Format routine, you will see that we manually
replace the "$" symbol with the machine's currency symbol before calling
FormatCurr.
