Hi Maria,

When users decide to change the number of decimal places for numeric columns, we typically set a mask on the field similar to something like "{double:-5.6}".  It's a fairly dynamic situation.  We have other functionality where I'm performing some secondary calculations and need to round the numeric results, but I need to round to the same level of precision they've selected to view the data in the grid.  So I need some way of determining the number of visible decimal places on the XamDataGrid field for the secondary rounding.

I hope this makes more sense.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve, 

Thank you for the provided details. I have been looking into this and it seems that there is no build-in functionality for checking how many digits could be set in a cell. What I could suggest you here is using the Text property of the XamNumericEditor which is used to display the decimal values in the cells. Then you could separate the string to a char array and use its Length property to determine how many digits are displayed.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Hello Steve, 

I am just checking if you have any other questions regarding this issue.

Thanks, Maria.

I guess this approach is ok.  It’s not great because you’d need to know the decimal separator, and of course that depends on the locale.  I’ll probably use a similar approach and try to come up with something for the separator.

Thanks, Steve
