Description & Usage

The NUMBERFMT structure stores information about how to format a regular number for display. This structure allows a program to specify how it wants a number to be displayed, overriding the format used by a locale.

Visual Basic-Specific Issues

None.

Data Members

NumDigits

The number of digits to display after the decimal point.

LeadingZero

If zero, do not pad the space to the right of the decimal point with zeros if there are fewer fractional digits than specified by NumDigits. If nonzero, then do pad the space. For example, if NumDigits is 3 and the number to display is 1.23, setting this data member to zero displays the number as "1.23". Setting this data member to any other value displays "1.230".

Grouping

The number of digits to include in each group to the left of the decimal point. Typically, groups of three are used (e.g., 1,234,567). Values in the range of 0-9 are valid.

lpDecimalSep

The character to use for the decimal point.

lpThousandSep

The character to use for the grouping separator.

NegativeOrder

One of the following values specifying how to represent a negative number. An example of each is shown in the list below for the number -1.1.

0

(1.1)

1

-1.1

2

- 1.1 (space after the - sign)

3

1.1-

4

1.1 - (space before the - sign)
