MoneyLayoutFromINegCurr

Maps a Windows LOCALE_INEGCURR code (0..15) onto the POSIX (precedes, sepBySpace, signPosn) triple. Public so that all sixteen rows can be asserted individually -- a transcription slip here is a wrong string on somebody's machine and on nobody else's.

Syntax

MoneyLayoutFromINegCurr( v, byref precedes, byref sepBySpace, byref signPosn )

Notes

• The sixteen patterns: ($1.1) -$1.1 $-1.1 $1.1- (1.1$) -1.1$ 1.1-$ 1.1$- -1.1 $ -$ 1.1 1.1 $- $ 1.1- $ -1.1 1.1- $ ($ 1.1) (1.1 $).
• Codes 12 and 13 are the only two needing sepBySpace = 2, and they are why the model keeps three values there rather than a boolean.
• Anything out of range falls back to 1, sign before all.
• Compiled on every target, though only Windows ever populates a snapshot from it.

Examples

dim as boolean pre
dim as int32 sep, posn
MoneyLayoutFromINegCurr( 12, pre, sep, posn )
print sep                                            '' 2
print MoneyCompose( "1.1", "$", "-", pre, sep, posn ) '' $ -1.1
