I've been trying to convert a VB6 with UltraGrid to VS2008 with NetAdvantage (10.3). Major headache but ... What all do I need to do to the cell columns -- I've had issues with Nullable string error and now string to decimal error. I made a column format = c2 but when the user enters $0.00 they get the string to decimal error. What do I need to set in order for them to enter a numeric number which was how I enter the data during test, and them using using the $ in their input.
Thanks

Hi,
I suggest you to create a decimal mask for this column.
- Start the UltraGrid designer
- Select “Band and column settings” -> “Band”->Columns
- Select your column in the right side
- Find and change property “MaskInput” with some of decimal masks. For example: {double:-9.4:c}
Please inform me is it useful for you and if you have any additional questions, please write me.
Sincerely

Georgi,
Thanks. The currency input mask worked. I frequently use a single form with a grid and option buttons for displaying / editing different data sources so I have a variety of "initialize" routines with the display format, column/level positions, etc. I'll add the designer to my list of helpful tools, along with the forums, on-line documentation, tutorials, and samples.
