decimal group separator in numerical display/entry

I have big numbers in a display as well as numeric entry box. To simplify reading and entry I would like to display e.g.

1234567890 as 1.234.567.890 or 1 234 567 890 using a dot or space to group 3 digits each (like Excel and others can do).

Some Notes:

1) Should be added to integers and floating point values.

2) Should take care of different group separators and comma settings in US and Europe

3) Would be great for constants in block diagrams as well.

This idea has been suggested a couple times before.

 

Visual Aides - Numeric Separators

Format into string with thousands separator

 

The first is the oldest and has the most kudoes.

Ok, I did not find the others, so I posted my own. Sorry about starting a new idea.

Anyway, hopefully NI will realize this (it will be too late for the current project anyway).
