How to set the decimal formats for a particular column in WinForms GridControl?
Number in decimal format
You can set the number with decimal format programmatically for a particular column in a GridControl, by setting the ColStyles[index].Format property.
C#
// used to display one decimal precision ( e.g ‘#.0’) this.gridControl1.ColStyles[1].Format = "N1"; // used to display two decimal precision ( e.g ‘#.00’) this.gridControl1.ColStyles[2].Format = "N2"; // used to display three decimal precision ( e.g ‘#.000’) this.gridControl1.ColStyles[3].Format = "N3"; // used to display the default currency symbol "$" and two decimal precision ( e.g ‘$#.00’). this.gridControl1.ColStyles[4].Format = "C";
VB
' used to display one decimal precision ( e.g ‘#.0’) Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(1).Format = "N1" ' used to display two decimal precision ( e.g ‘#.00’) Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(2).Format = "N2" ' used to display three decimal precision ( e.g ‘#.000’) Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(3).Format = "N3" ‘used to display the default currency symbol "$" and two decimal precision ( e.g ‘$#.00’). Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(4).Format = "C"
