IIRC, the problem is that one of the necessary parameters (e.g. the separator character, the number of digits per group) doesn’t default to the system settings, so that the formatter *would* show the grouping but it thinks it can’t. FWIW, here’s the code I use to get a formatter to show separators (not via IB, obviously), but this combination of non-default parameters works, at least: > formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; > formatter.formatterBehavior = NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4; > formatter.usesGroupingSeparator = YES; > formatter.locale = [NSLocale currentLocale]; > formatter.groupingSize = 3; (The fact that I did this in code may also reflect the fact that I gave up trying to do it in IB.) The fact that the IB file seems to say there’s no grouping may not be significant. IB may have figured out that one required setting is missing, so disabling the grouping completely might be an effect, not a cause. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
