Question

I am trying to keep the trailing zeros on a QString formatted as currency. My current code will change 1234 to $1,234. But, what I want is $1,234.00.

Here is what is not working for me:

lndtBillRate->setText(QString("$%L1").arg(lndtBillRate->text().toDouble(), 0, 'f', 2));

Answer 1

Your code should work as expected. Could the value be getting truncated in the widget that is displaying the text?

>>> from PyQt4.QtCore import *
>>> QString('$%L1').arg(1234.0, 0, 'f', 2)
PyQt4.QtCore.QString(u'$1234.00')
