GOAL:
I18N. Making the Period Behave As a COMMA on Numeric Pad with GUI
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
CAUSE:
Because in some Locales, the decimal separator is a Comma ",", we need to implement this little workaround in way when the user press the Period "." in the Numeric Pad and to behave as if it was a comma.
FIX:
1. In all the decimal fill-ins add a trigger on any printable as follow.
ON ANY-PRINTABLE OF FILL-IN-1
DO:
RUN CHANGETHEPERIOD.
END.
2. Create the following Procedure CHANGETHEPERIOD.
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
Parameters: <none>
Notes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
IF KEYFUNCTION(LASTKEY) = "." THEN
DO:
IF SESSION:NUMERIC-FORMAT = "American" THEN RETURN.
ELSE
IF SESSION:NUMERIC-FORMAT = "European" THEN DO:
IF FOCUS:DATA-TYPE = "decimal" THEN DO:
APPLY KEYCODE(",").
RETURN NO-APPLY.
END.
END.
END.
END PROCEDURE.
This will when the user press a Period to be replaced on the fly by a comma.
