Culture
To ensure that values in the value field are correctly displayed according to the user’s culture setup, we have a little system for making this work correctly. You just wrap the values in [] brackets with a format specifier, like this:
| Valuetype | Symbol | Comment | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Date | D | Use [D:mm/dd/yyyy] | [D:01/01/2009] |
| DateTime | DT | Use [DT:MM/DD/YYYY] | [DT:00:00:00.0000000] |
| double | F | Use period (.) as decimal separator | [F:123.45] |
| Integer | I | [I:123] | |
| Money | M | Use period (.) as decimal separator | [M:123.98] |
This means that you can show several values in a field, like this:
- "Between [D:12/01/2012] and [D:12/25/2012] it is a [F:99.5]% chance of meeting a Santa Clause."
- "Should be used in temperatures between [F:-30.0]°C and [F:50.0] °C."
For example, with a Norwegian PC setup, the above will translate into the following:
- "Between 01.12.2012 and 25.12.2012 it is a 99,5% chance of meeting a Santa Clause."
- "Should be used in temperatures between 30,0°C and 50,0 °C."
