| Description |
The NegCurrFormat variable defines how negative currency amounts are formatted by such functions as FloatToStr and CurrToStr.
It is in effect an enumerated type, but with no names for the values. It is easiest to show their meanings by example, given below with an amount 1.23 and ? as the CurrencyString:
| ?0 | = (?1.23) |
| ?1 | = -?1.23 |
| ?2 | = ?-1.23 |
| ?3 | = ?1.23- |
| ?4 | = (1.23?) |
| ?5 | = -1.23? |
| ?6 | = 1.23-? |
| ?7 | = 1.23?- |
| ?8 | = -1.23 ? |
| ?9 | = -? 1.23 |
| 10 | = 1.23 ?- |
| 11 | = ? 1.23- |
| 12 | = ? -1.23 |
| 13 | = 1.23- ? |
| 14 | = (? 1.23) |
| 15 | = (1.23 ?) |
|
|
| Notes |
NegCurrFormat = LOCALE_INEGCURR by default.
