Regional settings?

[User (Legacy)]

Hi

I'm having difficulties figuring out why chartfx insists on displaying 

decimalvalues with "." as decimal-separator, and the dataoutput from the 

database and webserver (db -> calculus -> output) is using ",". The numbers 

that are retrieved from the database use "," and seems to be incompatible 

with chartfx and therefore (i assume) the values are not presented.

So, the question is, how do I check (and change) which decimalsettings apply 

to chartfx on the webserver?

When coming from the database, numeric fields don't have neither "," or "." 

they are just numbers. The "," or "." is use LATER when the numbers are 

displayed as strings of text either in your Axis or somewhere else in the 

chart.

So I do not understand what you mean by " The numbers that are retrieved 

from the database use "," " .

Are these numbers stored in String fields ?

No, the numbers causing the headache are in fact results of calculus (based 

on integers, either  retrieved or counted, all depending) in asp/vbscript, 

numbers that have the format nnn,nn  and not nnn.nn.

This puzzels me, because these results are displayed (we do both) ok in an 

html table, but chartfx will not display them.

ChartFX also fails if I try to set an Axis step to "0,5", but not to "0.5". 

So something is causing ChartFX to wanting "." instead of ",".

So how are you passing these numbers from your script to the chart.

I need to see the code you are using.

The Step property is a NUMERIC property, it does not know anything about 

formatting. It makes no difference between 0,5 or .05 because it receives 

neither, it receives the floating point representation of 0.5 not the 

string. I think the problem here is that you are trying to pass strings to 

numeric properties, ASP will try to translate these to numbers BEFORE 

passing them to us but it can only convert 0.5.

Try this:

use the SAME variable being pass to Step, and add something to it, then 

display it. What do you get ?

html table, etc. are composed by strings, not numbers, so there is no 

problem here.
