DisplayCurrency (Property)

In french: DeviseAffichage

The DisplayCurrency property gets and sets the currency used when entering or displaying values in a "Currency + Euro" control.

Remarks:

The displayed currency can differ from the currency returned to the program or saved in the corresponding HFSQL data file. The currency used to save the value is defined by the MemoryCurrency property.
If the displayed currency differs from the stored currency, the conversion is automatically performed during the backup.
