property editor - Apply invariant culture

[tonitpp]

Hi,

I have a property editor with the following configuration:

object: scatterplot

property name: PointSize

The problem is that its representation depends on regional settings, for example:

Spanish is: "5; 5"

United States is : "5, 5"

So how to make it culture invariant in order to represent always in the same manner?

Hi there,

Write this peice of code at the beginning of your code.

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("", false);

This will make the locale to be set to invariant. But this causes culture to be invariant across the thread.

Hope this helps.

EDIT

- How to get which character separator is used by the property editor?

- Can I force property editor source to use a custom separator?

The need to get the character separator is because I control what user is typing, so I only permits to user to use digits and the character separator so I need to check this character separator to allow user to type it.

Ok, but this will apply culture invariant to all application. Is there any way to know which character separator is using propertyeditorsource?

Ok, as you says in the another thread

by using CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ListSeparator.
