Manual > Appendix > Number Formatting

overview

This chapter describes the specifications for number formats.

A number format is a format specification for specifying the format for displaying numbers, such as the decimal point, delimiter, radix, etc. Examples of situations in which you might specify a number format include specifying the format for a "Number Display Part" in the parts library, or the number format passed to a method for displaying numbers, such as CNumToLocale (NL).

FA-Panel allows you to flexibly set the number format. In addition to displaying numbers in various formats around the world, you can also set your own format.

System format

System formats are formats that are pre-prepared within the FA-Panel system.

The following types of system formats are available for number formatting:

type	Number Format Name
Default Format	@NUMBER
ANSI format	@ANSI
ISO format	@ISO
Regional format (auto-switch)	@LOCALE
Regional format (fixed)	Specify the locale ID directly, such as @ja or @en
Binary Format	@BIN
Octal Format	@OCT
Hexadecimal Format	@HEX

For more information about system formats, see "Number Formats (System Formats)".

User format

User formats can be created by users by defining their own free formats.

User format definitions for number formats are registered against the NumberFormatConf root property.

Furthermore, you can freely customize the behavior of the default format by overriding the system default format (@NUMBER) or ANSI format (@ANSI) in the user format definition.

For more information about user formats, see "Number Formats (User Formats)".

User formats cannot be specified from Server Script 2 (SC2).

If you omit the specification of the number format in methods related to numeric display, the behavior will be the same as if you specified the system format "@NUMBER" (default format) in the table above.
