LV 8.6f1- different decimal point at development & exe

[jan9101]

Hello,

In my program I want to use the decimal point  "." and not the local symbol of the PC.

So I turned of this option in the category "frontpanel".

In the development system this works fine, on the screen and in the saved data files (*.lvm & *.xls) the "."  will be used.

But when I build an exe file of my program there will always be used a ","  as decimal point (on the screen of the same PC and in all saved data files).

Can anybody help me ?

The option is stored in the LabVIEW.ini file. This is what is used by the development environment. When you build an exe, the exe uses application_name.ini. So copy the ini setting (useLocalDecimalPt=False) to application_name.ini and include that in the distribution of your app.

Hello Dennis,

thanks a lot, this works fine.

Is that behavior normal or bug ?

The behavior is by design.

Hi,

thanks for info, just a small correction, the line should be

useLocaleDecimalPt=False

(Locale not Local)
