Remarks

The default value for the TypeCurrencySymbol character is a Null value, which means to display the currency symbol specified in the regional Currency Symbol setting in the Windows Control Panel.

Note: The control does not recognize changes made to the Windows regional settings or options until you restart your development environment or your application (or perform any operation that unloads and reloads the current control files). For more information about regional settings or options and Windows operating environments, see Variations in Windows Regional Settings or Options.

You can designate more than one character as the symbol.

A currency cell will not display the specified symbol unless the TypeCurrencyShowSymbol property is set to True for that cell.

To use the TypeCurrencySymbol property, specify the sheet with which you want to work by setting the Sheet property. Then specify the cell or cells to which to apply the property, as described in Using Column and Row Properties. Once you set the TypeCurrencySymbol property for a cell or cells, any subsequent currency cells you create will use the same TypeCurrencySymbol setting unless you reset it for those cells.

The TypeCurrencySymbol property does not have an effect unless the CellType property is set to 12 (Currency) for the specified cell or cells and the TypeCurrencyShowSymbol property is set to True.

Spread Designer
