Format

Gets the format associated with the format of the float value

OutputVar := instance.Format
instance.Format := Value

Value

To set value must be in the format of #.# or #.#e# or #.#E# or -#.# Eg: 0.6 or 0.2e3 or -04.1E1
Can be MfString instance or var containing string

Gets

Gets the current fromat as var containing string.

Sets

Sets the format for the instance

Remarks

Format contains TotalWidth and DecimalPlaces
Alternativly you may set TotalWidth and DecimalPlaces instead of Format
See Also: SetFormat()

Throws

Throws MfNotSupportedException on set if Readonly is true.
Throws MfFormatException if Value is a bad format.

Example

f := new MfFloat(0.5) ; ReturnAsObject is false
result := f.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'0.500000'

result := f.GetTrimmed() ; returns var
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; displays '0.5'

f := new MfFloat(0.5, , , "10.5") ; ReturnAsObject and Readonly are false
result := f.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'   0.50000'

result := f.GetTrimmed() ; returns var
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; displays '0.5'

f := new MfFloat(256.030, true, , "10.5") ; ReturnAsObject is true, Readonly is False
result := f.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:' 256.03000'

fTrim := f.GetTrimmed() ; returns MfFloat object instance because ReturnAsObject is true
result := fTrim.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'256.03'

result := fTrim.Format
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'0.2'

f := new MfFloat()
f.TotalWidth := "012"
f.DecimalPlaces := "5"
f.Value := 256.030
f.ReturnAsObject := true
result := f.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'000256.03000'

fTrim := f.GetTrimmed() ; returns MfFloat object instance because ReturnAsObject is true
result := fTrim.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'256.03'

result := fTrim.Format
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'0.2'

f := new MfFloat()
f.Format := "-012.5"
f.Value := 256.1
f.ReturnAsObject := true
result := f.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'256.10000   '

fTrim := f.GetTrimmed() ; returns MfFloat object instance because ReturnAsObject is true
result := fTrim.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'256.1'

result := fTrim.Format
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'0.1'

f := new MfFloat(256.0, true, , "10.5") ; ReturnAsObject is true, Readonly is False
result := f.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:' 256.00000'

fTrim := f.GetTrimmed() ; returns MfFloat object instance because ReturnAsObject is true
result := fTrim.Value
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; a whole number is returned - Displays Result:'256'

result := fTrim.Format
MsgBox Result:'%result%' ; Displays Result:'0.0'
