Hi,

I have this simple datatable with 2 string columns and rest of them are number columns of type Double.

I am trying to do a very simple thing, ie, format the number columns to be shown as with thousand separator comma. I have tried the following 3 lines (inside the for loop);

UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns(i).Format = "nnn,nnn,nnn,nnn.nn"
UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns(i).MaskInput = "nnn,nnn,nnn,nnn.nn"
UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns(i).MaskDisplayMode = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinMaskedEdit.MaskMode.IncludeLiterals

but above code has no effect on the format of the number columns.

I also wanted to set the horizontal text align of all number columns to be Right justified. For that I wrote the following line:

UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns(i).CellAppearance.TextHAlign = Infragistics.Win.HAlign.Right

which did NOT work, so I wrote the following line:

UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.CellAppearance.TextHAlign = HAlign.Right

which DID work (but of course has also right-aligned the string columns which i dont want, plz suggest). Please tell me why the number format is not working what am i doing wrong, and also tell me why the first alignment statement didnt have any effect whereas the second statement for alignment worked, where as on your forums the first was supposed to work too.

waiting for reply, thanks.

PS: I am using ultrawingrid v8.1 in visual studio 2013 .Net 4, VB.
