Author decimal places in combobox
Dan Anderson

2005-11-29, 11:23 am

db+ I want to display the contents of a field in a table that has 5 decimal
places (interest rates). The combobox will only display 2 decimal places,
which won't work for my needs. Can anyone tell me how to display all 5
decimal places?

Did you set the picture property of the combobox?
If so and it still doesn't work, try issuing the command
Set Decimals to 5
either from the command line or in your code before the form executes.

Oops, I thought you said spinbox...there is no picture property in
combobox. (If I paid attention to what I write.....)

I put the set decimals command in the onOpen procedure and it didn't work.
What's plan B?

If that where to have any affect, you would need to set it before onOpen
because the combobox items are populated before onOpen. You might try an
overriden open method instead.

If that does not work, then just format the combobox value as you need
it. A simple example:

local i
private aSource

for i = 1 to 10
aSource.add(TRANSFORM(i, "999.9999")
endfor

combobox.dataSource = "Array aSource"

As Todd points out it needs to be issued before the form opens. Put it
in the area above the header in the WFM
