Is it possible to distinguish between DisplayFormat and EditFormat with Delphi LiveBindings

Question

I have an FMX TEdit, that is connected via LiveBindings to a Currency property of an object.

By default the value is displayed as '12.34'.

I know, I can define my own functions for CustomFormat for getting this displayed as '12.34 €'.

But if a user wants to edit this value in the control, I don't want him to struggle with the currency symbol. (Thus on entering the edit the control should display '12.34' again.)

Any idea how I can reach this?

Answer 1

I think, there is no support in LiveBindings/FireMonkey to differentiate between DisplayFormat and EditFormat.

I worked around the issue by placing the currency symbol outside the edit box.
