Localized number formatting
-
I am trying to use the formatter in IB, formatting according to our
norwegian format. I attach the NSNumberFormatter to an NSTextField,
and click on the row with a $ and two decimal places.
I now click on "Localize", and gets this: kr #,##0.00
It doesn't look right in the sample field. In norwegian format, we
use a space as a 1000 separator, and comma for separating the digits
and decimal digits. If I type 1064, I want to have it formatted to
"kr 1 064,00". But if I try to type that into the field, I get a
console message:
2005-07-26 16:09:02.169 Partos[2699] *** -[NSCFDictionary
setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value
If I try to type a number under 1000, it gets formatted OK (500 is
formatted as "kr 500,00").
Is this a bug in Cocoa? I am using XCode 2.0, but also had the same
behaviour in earlier versions.

Don't worry about the sample field. Just run the app, it should look
fine. I just tried it and it worked as you expected it to.

But it doesn't. Sorry for the confusion, but what I wrote in my first
post was what happened in my compiled application. In my case, every
time I puch in a number greater than 1000, the text field is blanked
out, and the console message about attempting to insert nil value is
written to the console. Weird.

This is what I tried:
1)Go to System preferences/international/formats, and set region to
norway(norwegian nynorsk)
2)Create new Core Data project. (called it "quick")
3)Go to the model. and create an entity with an optional decimal
attribute "numb"
4)Open MainMenu.nib, and option-drag the entity to create a UI for
many objects.
5)Go to the number formatter of the column corresponding to "numb",
select the second from the top in terms of formatting options, click
on localize.
6)Then I run the program. You are quite right, as it is there is a
problem.
7)Now, go back to the inspector for the formatter, click the second
option for formatting again, and then disable and reenable the
localize option again.
8)Now, mysteriously it works.
Sounds to me like a bug in IB, if you can actually reproduce these
steps.

Haris -
The disable and re-enable action you described in step 7 indeed
helped. Now, everything works as it should. Thanks a lot!
I must submit this bug to Apple, and use this workaround until they
have fixed it.
