Im using the proprty grid to display prices, so I request formatting to two decimal places with the example below:

Dim i As XtremePropertyGrid.PropertyGridItemDouble
Set i = PropCategory.AddChildItem(PropertyItemDouble, COL_HDR_PRICING_RETAIL, 0)
i.Id = 1 + COL_POS_PRICING_RETAIL
i.Format = "%0.02f"

The problem is, that if the data is 2.00 - the propery grid show it as "2" not "2.00" like i want, if data is 2.34, then it correctly shows "2.34" - basically, the leading zero is not working.

The documentation doesnt say its possible, but I figured its "standard" printf() formatting but unfortunatly it does work - is there any way to achive this?

Im using 9.81 (still...!)

i.UseSystemDecimalSymbol = False

Is there a workaround to this? I need to use Format = "%01.03f" to force three 0's after the decimal separator (e.g. 33.000), but I also need to set UseSystemDecimalSymbol = True to support international locales where they use comma as the decimal separator. It seems that you still need so set UseSystemDecimalSeparator = False. Thanks!
