Efl.Ui.Format.format_string

Description

A user-provided, string used to format the numerical value.

For example, "%1.2f meters", "%.0%%" or "%d items".

This is the simplest formatting mechanism, working pretty much like printf.

Different format specifiers (the character after the %) are available, depending on the type used. Use Efl.Ui.Format_String_Type.simple for simple numerical values and Efl.Ui.Format_String_Type.time for time and date values. For instance, %d means "integer" when the first type is used, but it means "day of the month as a decimal number" in the second.

Pass NULL to disable this mechanism.

Since 1.23

Values

  • string - Formatting string containing regular characters and format specifiers.
  • type - Type of formatting string, which controls how the different format specifiers are to be translated.
