My application works on system with regional settings where decimal separator is comma. (Delphi 10.1)
I have set dot as decimal separator for my application .
Application.UpdateFormatSettings := false;
FormatSettings.DecimalSeparator := '.';
Application.UpdateFormatSettings := true;
This works fine for me.
I have used format('%6.3f', 125.365])
function.
Exe is on for 24*7 on the system..
In the initial phase like 1 or 2 hours format function returns data properly with dot as decimal separator but later on it changes to local settings comma
say 12,365
.
How does dot changes to comma suddenly?
FormatSettings
. Any part of your program could change the settings. Not thread-safe either. Use the overloaded versions of formatting floats where you pass your ownFormatSettings
