[Solved] number formatting according to system setting

[Erik Damgaard]

 

 

 

 

<telerikGrid:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Equity" CellContentFormat="{}{0,0:N0}" />

 

RadDataGrid does not format numbers according to system setting. For ex, if In India if we have value 3000 will be formatted as 3,000 (comma as separator) but in Denmark it should be 3.000 (dot as separator). It is automatically done in Silverlight Grid but not in Windows 8.  
Is there some way to get this done?

Thanks

Hi Erik,

Thank you for contacting us.

Currently, the WinRT platform gets the UI Culture from the application settings (System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture). So, if you want to change the culture, you need to change it on a per application basis. In our next Q2 2013 Beta release we will expose a CultureService that will allow to customize the culture-aware settings on a per RadControl basis. At first, it will be available for RadCalendar and RadNumericBox, but in the future we intend to extend it to work with all of our culture-aware RadControls for Windows 8.

I hope this information is useful to you. Let me know if I can assist you in some other way.

Kind regards,
