looking for a good explanation for using 10.4 style data formatters in
Interface Builder; when I configure a number data formatter I can
only get
one of two behaviors (I've tried different permutations of the
switches in
IB):
1) User MUST type in a currency symbol before the field accepts
input. The
information is displayed as $123.45.
2) The user doesn't type in a currency symbol. The information is just
displayed in decimal format (123.45)
I want: The user types in a number. The formatter looks up the
appropriate
currency symbol tied to the user-defined default locale and displays a
locale-specific format.
How do I get this behavior? Do I need to revert to the old style
(which I
can get to work)?
It's not an IB solution, but you may want to take a look at
NSFormatter's editingStringForObjectValue: method, which allows
derived classes to specify a different string for editing (without the
currency symbol) than for the displayed string (with the currency
symbol).
