NumberGroupSizes

Gets or sets the number of digits in each group to the left of the decimal in numeric values.

OutputVar := instance.NumberGroupSizes
instance.NumberGroupSizes := Value

Value

Instance of MfListVar containing integer var values

Gets

Gets the number of digits in each group to the left of the decimal in numeric values as MfListVar.
The default for InvariantInfo is a MfListVar instance with only one element, which is set to a value of 3.

Sets

Sets the number of digits in each group to the left of the decimal in numeric values

Throws

Throws MfInvalidOperationException if the property is being set and the MfNumberFormatInfo is read-only.
Throws MfArgumentNullException if the property is being set to null.
Throws MfArgumentException if the property is being set and the list contains an entry that is less than 0 or greater than 9..-or- value is not a MfListBase derived list.

Remarks

Any list derived from MfListBase containing integer elements can be used to set NumberGroupSizes if IsReadOnly is false. However NumberGroupSizes will always return MfListVar instance.

The value of the NumberGroupSizes property affects the result of number values that are formatted by using the "N" . If a custom numeric format string or other standard numeric format strings are used, the value of the NumberGroupSizes property is ignored.

Every element in the list must be an integer from 1 through 9. The last element can be 0.

The first element of the array defines the number of elements in the least significant group of digits immediately to the left of the NumberDecimalSeparator. Each subsequent element refers to the next significant group of digits to the left of the previous group. If the last element of the list is not 0, the remaining digits are grouped based on the last element of the array. If the last element is 0, the remaining digits are not grouped.

For example, if the list contains { 3, 4, 5 }, the digits are grouped similar to "55,55555,55555,55555,4444,333.00". If the list contains { 3, 4, 0 }, the digits are grouped similar to "55555555555555555,4444,333.00".
