[Solved] Formatting numeric data types

[Marek Kruk]

Hello,

i want format numeric data in PropertyGrid - item.value and editor.value. 
For example:
value: 100000
formated value: 100 000

How can i do this? Can i use FormatString like "#,###"?

Greetings

Hi Marek,

Thank you for writing.

Yes, you can format the text of both the visual item and the editor. Here is a sample application demonstrating how to achieve that:

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        MyObject ob = new MyObject();
        ob.Number = 100000;

        radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = ob;
        radPropertyGrid1.ItemFormatting += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.PropertyGridItemFormattingEventHandler(radPropertyGrid1_ItemFormatting);
        radPropertyGrid1.EditorInitialized += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.PropertyGridItemEditorInitializedEventHandler(radPropertyGrid1_EditorInitialized);
    }

    void radPropertyGrid1_EditorInitialized(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.PropertyGridItemEditorInitializedEventArgs e)
    {
        PropertyGridSpinEditor editor = e.Editor as PropertyGridSpinEditor;
        if (editor != null)
        {
            editor.ThousandsSeparator = true;
        }
    }

    void radPropertyGrid1_ItemFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.PropertyGridItemFormattingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.Name == "Number")
        {
            ((PropertyGridItemElement)e.VisualElement).ValueElement.Text = string.Format("{0:#,###}", ((PropertyGridItem)e.Item).Value);
        }
    }
}

class MyObject
{
    public int Number { get; set; }
}
