How to use Regional Decimal symbol from windows?

[yavaskoray]

Hello,

I am using a Text Field to show a float value. I have a Windows PC and "Decimal symbol" in Windows Regional settings is a comma( 99,999 ). However, my text field shows always period (99.999).
Is there a way to show floating values with the regional settings from Windows?

Regards,
Koray

As far as I know there is no possibility to format a float value according to the current OS settings.
In WinCC OA always the "dot" is used as deicmal symbol.

Thank you for the answer.
What about the Regional Time Format Settings of the Windows? Can we read the regional time settings of the Windows and use it?

When using one of the options %c, %x, %X for the CTRL function formatTime() to format a date/time the settings defined in the Windows Control Panel --> "Region and Language" are used.

With 'sprintfUL' you can format a float according the current user regional settings.

I placed a Support Request because I had some problems with formatTime("%c", t) (it did not return the Local Representation of Time), but I got no response.

Have you been using the Siemens Industry Portal to submit the service request?
Do you know the number for the service request?

There is no answer available at the moment as we are currenty working on the sevice request.

As far as I've seen on our system formatting the time worked correctly.
