I'm using the current versions of Bonsai on my PC (Windows 7) and on the HTC Touch Diamond (Windows Mobile 6.1). Both operating systems are the German ones, where a comma defines the decimal point. This causes the following issues:

(1) Desktop: Input numbers in a numeric customs field
The input can be done as "123,45" or as "123.45". Apart of the format of the input (with comma or point as decimal point), it will be displayed as "123.45". This might be acceptable, but on the mobile device the value appears without a decimal point as "12345".

(2) Mobile: Input numbers in a numeric customs field
The initial value of the field is displayed as "0,00".
Entering a value by increasing / decreasing with the arrow-buttons (left/right) will cause, that the value is display with a comma as decimal point "123,45".
Input a value by typing "123.45" will result in a value without a decimal point "12345".
Input a value with a comma as decimal point the comma is not accepted during input.
After a synchronisation, the decimals are cut off - on the desktop as well on the mobile.

At this stage of the software it's not posible to work with decimal numbers. Please asure, that in one of the next releases this will supported properly.


Thanks Gerhard

Thanks for the report. This works as expected with English settings but for some reason Bonsai is having a problem with decimal entry when regional settings are configured for German. I am not sure if it is an issue with the control or how Bonsai is configuring/using the control. We will looking this and should have it resolved in the Window Mobile app in a future beta.
I am a little concerned about the sync and the fact that the entries synced between the devices are losing the decimal component. What are the regional settings on your PC and phone and in particular what is configured for the decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol on both platforms?
