Data Items: justification and alignment options
Modified By chick on 5/10/2007 4:59:44 PM)

How can I align a numeric column on the decimal point for readability? (I know I can left, center, and right justify a data item column via the Change Appearance dialog).

Re: Data Items: justification and alignment options

I'm not sure I follow what you mean about readability. Can you provide an example of what you want the output to look like?

As you noted, you can choose the Alignment in the Change Appearance or in the Edit Data Item dialog. You can also put in a specific "format style" for the data item in the Data Item Editor or by right-clicking the choosing Edit Data Item in the Select Data Items dialog.

These format styles use the standard FoxPro approach to picture formats or input masks so you can put in "$ 9,999.99" and the output would appears as $ 495.00 or $ 1,395.50.
