Hi Just started with Web Elevate so still finding my way around
I have a TEdit connected to a double datatype field. if the value is 50.00 it displays 50
Without using FloatToStrFormat is there a way to display 2 decimal places
Much Appreciated

Not that I'm aware of. I use the enter/exit to set the text according to how I want it displayed, along with an onChange to store the value into the "backing variable". So normally it can show "12.34" but when the user edits it changes to "12.3456" or whatever the real value is.

Which database are you using? In EDB e.g. I use a "decimal" type
(scale=2) instead of "float" for currency values.
Not at my computer, but that should be displayed correctly in EWB as well.

At this time you still need to use these event handlers for columns in order to provide formatting for data-bound controls:

Improving the data-bound formatting capabilities is high on the list of enhancements, so it won't be much longer to wait until this is completely addressed.

Thanks to all

I used the OnGetText Event

Works a dream.
