Separator Property (TDBNumber)

Reference> TDBNumber Control> TDBNumber Control Properties> Separator Property (TDBNumber)

Sets/returns the character to use as a thousands separator.

Syntax

TDBNumber.Separator= string

Read/Write at run time and design time.

Remarks

The character assigned to this property will not change the separator keyword used in the Format and the DisplayFormat properties. The format is specified with a fixed period (".") for the decimal point and a comma (",") for the separator in any case.

The thousands separator does not need to be entered by the user because it will be displayed automatically as the numbers are entered.

The Separator string is limited to a single SBCS character and cannot contain a numeric value. This property also cannot be set to the decimal point character specified using the DecimalPoint property.

Unlike the DecimalPoint property, the Separator can be set to a zero-length string. In this case, the separators will not be displayed although they are specified in the formats.
