Currency Symbol Position

[MattParticipant]

Hi

Currently I’m using this code:

localization:   {
                    currencySymbol: "£",
                    currencySymbolposition: "before"

                }

To specify that currency fields should have a £ sign at the front which for positive numbers works fine however for negative numbers the £ sign appears in front of the minus sign like this: £-123.45

Is there a way to change it to display as -£123.45?

Thanks

Hi Matt,

The property’s name is symbolPosition: http://jsfiddle.net/jqwidgets/v94Tq/. It’s not necessary to define the position in the Localization.

Hi Peter

Your example doesn’t fix the issue as the value still displays as £-123.45 or -123.45£. I would like it to display as -£123.45 to match how negative currency values are displayed in other applications.

Also the example is of a jqxNumberInput so I think the syntax is different. The documentation here:
http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-documentation/documentation/jqxtreegrid/jquery-treegrid-localization.htm

says that it is currencySymbolPosition and if I set it to after then the symbol appears after the value.

I’ve created a treegrid fiddle here:

Hi Matt,

Ok, you can implement the cellsRenderer function of that column and override the Grid’s built-in Cells display.
