Dim singleValue as single = 0.5
Dim outputSingle as Text = singleValue.toText
This outputs a text “0,5000000”
Why is this? And how can I get rid of the zeros so I get 0,5
In the docs I found this:
Dim s As Single = 123.45
Dim t As Text
t = s.ToText // t = "123.45"
This is not the case. It outputs : 123.449997
Somethings wrong here.

Dim singleValue As Single = 0.5
Dim outputSingle As Text = singleValue.toText(Xojo.Core.Locale.Current)

Which is correct, since 123,45 is not storable in a Single (or Double).
Dim s As Single = 123.45
Dim t As Text
t = s.ToText(Xojo.Core.Locale.Current) // t = "123.45"
That makes sense. But the example in the docs did put me on the wrong track.
I knew I had seen a format parameter in ToText. That is for Double :

So essentially, you would have to use a double to perform the ToText and you can have any format you want, as with Format in the previous framework :
dim s as single = 1.2345678
dim d as double = s
dim t as Text
t = d.ToText(Locale.Current, "#,###.##")
