[DUG] DBEdit

Yes. DisplayFormat on the static TField allows you to control how it is
displayed.

I have a floating point figure in a table/ClientDataSet that shows in a
DBEdit.  Sometimes when it is small it reverts to scientific notation,
eg 1.7E-6 which means nothing to the users.  I made a long edit box to
show the 0.0000017 etc - now if only I can make Delphi show it that way.
Is there a way to specifiy the formatting of floats? - I looked around
and didn't see anything.

 

Related - I also want to occasionally display an integer with a special
format in a DBEdit - eg 20080729.   Yes its a date and obviously I would
like to show it as eg 29-Jul-08 or some similar date format.

 

Any suggestions?
