Locale is not working

Emile_Schwarz · August 24, 2025, 7:44pm

I initialized as (for testing):

// French_Locale
Var Fr_Locale As New Locale("fr-FR")
LB.CellTextAt(10,1) = Obj.FolderItem.Length.ToString(Fr_Locale,"### ### ###") + " Byte(s)"

and I get:

instead of 360 156 Byte(s)…

I tried: "###,###,###" and I get the commas instead of spaces…

What’s wrong ?

Not sure, it is working here when the format (with commas) is used:

Emile_Schwarz · August 24, 2025, 8:52pm

Here too, but the thousand separator in France is a space. The decimal character is the comma (in France).

So, 1,222,333 have no sense for a French guy, unless he’s speaking English .

Doh: I do not saw the space (last line in the Debugger)… So, I will copy the line and paste it elsewhere to see if my space is there, but too thin to be seen…

Yes, for me it shows the spaces just as you want.

It’s late, I have to shut off and sleep. I will resume work on this project tomorrow.

Thanks Alberto.

I just remember that I do not figured what happened, so I copied the ListBox contents and paste it in a Raw Text document:


|Daily Strip||
|---|---|
|Width:|2046|
|Height:|594|
|DPI:|72 dpi|
|File Size:|1 317 045 Byte(s)|
|||
|Atom Left||
|Width:|2048|
|Height:|1374|
|DPI:|72 dpi|
|File Size:|1 281 798 Byte(s)|
|||
|Atom Middle||
|Width:|1449|
|Height:|851|
|DPI:|72 dpi|
|File Size:|1 001 563 Byte(s)|

and here’s a screen shot of the ListBox:

It works fine; excepted that in the ListBox, the space characters are very thin. Maybe I will change the default Font to a monospaced one…

Monaco do the job, except that Bold Cell disappears…

One more THANK YOU Alberto.
