How to convert numbers to local currency format?

[SGaist]

Hi,

Based on the Number type documentation, do you have

import QtQml 2.14

in your script ?

[Alexandre Camelo]

@SGaist I did not do this.

Where in the code should I put this "import"?

I tried to put in the .pro file but it didn't work. QT did not recognize this command.

[SGaist]

At the top of your .qml file as explained here in Qt's documentation.

@SGaist I forgot to say that I am programming in C ++. I think the .qml file is not accepted here, right?

Your examples above ar qml, now you're telling us you're trying to compile qml code in C++??

@Christian-Ehrlicher Excuse me. My mistake. I'm new to QT.

I think I looked in the wrong part of the documentation.

The above example was copied from the QT documentation.

I am programming in C ++.

What is the method for converting numbers to local currency so that these numbers, even with currency formatting, can be used in mathematical expressions (sum, multiplication, etc.)?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

Use QLocale

as @Christian-Ehrlicher say, you have to used QLocale, like this:

auto german = QLocale("de_DE");
double value = 1234.56;
qDebug() << german.toString(value, 'f', 2);

I am trying to convert typed numbers in a line edit to local currency format.

double num = lineEdit->locale().toDouble(lineEdit->text());

[Alexandre Camelo]

@KroMignon Ok. It worked.

Thank you.

But I only have one more small question:

I read from the QT documentation that there is a way for QLocale to include the local currency symbol in the formatted number. Although I read, I couldn't understand how to do that.

After your tip, I was able to format the numbers to the local currency, but I'm concatenating the Brazilian currency symbol next to the number.

How can I enter the currency symbol through QLocale?

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thank you, Christian.

Your tips were enough for me to solve the problem!
