Customizing Value Format

EO.Wpf SpinEdit can display the current value in a custom format. This section covers the following topics:

Basic Formating

Advanced Formating

Basic Formating

Use ValueFormat and DecimalDigits for basic formatting. For example, the following code sets ValueFormat to Currency and DecimalDigits to 2:

XAML
Copy 
<Window x:Class="Test.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:eo="http://schemas.essentialobjects.com/wpf/"
        xmlns:g="clr-namespace:System.Globalization;assembly=mscorlib"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="250" Width="350">
    <StackPanel Margin="10">
        <eo:SpinEdit HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="100" ValueFormat="Currency" DecimalDigits="2" />
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

The above code produces the following result:

Note for value 0, it displays "$0.00" instead of "0".

Advanced Formating

Alternatively, you can use a NumberFormatInfo object to customize the format. The following sample demonstrates how to use this feature:

XAML
Copy 
<Window x:Class="Test.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:eo="http://schemas.essentialobjects.com/wpf/"
        xmlns:g="clr-namespace:System.Globalization;assembly=mscorlib"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="250" Width="350">
    <Window.Resources>
        <g:NumberFormatInfo x:Key="CustomValueFormat" CurrencyNegativePattern="1" CurrencySymbol="£"></g:NumberFormatInfo>
    </Window.Resources>
    <StackPanel Margin="10">
        <eo:SpinEdit HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
            Minimum="-10" Maximum="10" Value="-1" Width="100" 
            ValueFormat="Currency" NumberFormatInfo="{StaticResource CustomValueFormat}" />
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

The above code produces the following result:

Note the current symbol is changed to pound, and the negative number format has been changed to "-$n" instead of the default "($n)" format.
