TFloatFormat

[tarounen]

hi, i am getting some problem with my code. i want to display a floating number with only 4 decimal palces. i tried this code, but i the debugger is reporting an error:

Code: [Select]

type
  TFloatFormat = (ffGeneral);

//there is a place in a procedure with this code:     
 msg:=FloatToStrF(A, ffGeneral, 5, 4);   

But there is an error message:
 Got "NORMAL.TFloatFormat", expected "SYSUTILS.TFloatFormat"

can anyone help me

thanks.

This makes no sense to me.

Code: [Select]

type
  TFloatFormat = (ffGeneral);
You redeclared enumeration which is already declared in sysutils. You don't need to do it. Or you have some special reason ?

To display 4 decimal places, try ffFixed:

Code: [Select]

msg:=FloatToStrF(A, ffFixed, 5, 4);
