Bug with toString function

[Ron]

Hi,

We just upgraded from Kendo UI Q1 2016 SP3 to Kendo UI Q2 2016 because of a bug with kendo.toString. We see it was partially fixed, but there is still a problem. 

The result of 
kendo.toString(-5678, "##,#")
is 
"-,5678"
Instead of the expected "-5,678" 

Since we are getting near to a release of our next app version it is important for us to know when do you expect to fix this bug (in earlier versions it all worked well).

Thanks,

 

Ron.

Hi Ron,

The described bug is fixed, and the working version is available in the internal build from May 23th 2016.

Hi Dimiter,

I'm using Kendo UI R3 2016 SP1 (but also tested with SP2) and I still encounter this problem. Below are a few examples.

kendo.toString(4321.11, "$###,##0.00;-$###,##0.00") -> "$4,321.11"
kendo.toString(-4321.11, "$###,##0.00;-$###,##0.00") -> "-$4321.11"
kendo.toString(-43214.11, "$###,##0.00;-$###,##0.00") -> "-$43,214.11"

Has the fix been reverted in more recent versions?

Hello Stephen,

The issue, initially discussed in the thread is fixed, but the one, described by you, is a different bug that has been logged, and you can track the corresponding issue in our GitHub repository:

https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/2262

It's priority has already been escalated, and you can expect a fix in a future release of Kendo UI.
