[CLOSED] Override UsMoney renderer to show negative number in brackets

[mwiater]

Hey Team,

Another common issue, which I already explored but didn't end up with any output.

How to show the negative currency in brackets? I mean we have currency amount column in our grid and using RendererFormat.UsMoney does work all the way except for negative numbers. For us it would be great if we could override RendererFormat.UsMoney and return amount inside brackets for negative numbers.

Or if we could somehow use FormatCurrency function of MVC.

Thanks,
Puneet

Hello Puneet!

Have custom demands for displayed values in grid? Use a custom renderer!

See how it's done here: Array Grid - Simple.

There, you'll see custom renderer coloring the cell and formatting and adding a post-fixed percent (%) symbol. Instead just add the currency symbol, and format the number (probably with two-digit decimal precision) using Ext.Number.toFixed(). Then when it is < 0, remove the '-' symbol (e.g. multiplying by -1) and add the brackets.

I hope this helps!
