More Information About Patterns in dijit.form.NumberTextBox & dijit.form.NumberSpinner

[Fergus Hadley]

It is difficult to see how to write specific patterns to format the number-based dijits. It would be very useful if someone with a good understanding of the code could add something to the docs:

http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.7/dijit/form/NumberSpinner.html http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.7/dijit/form/NumberTextBox.html

peller, is there number pattern (#,#0.#00) doc that I can point to?

[Adam Peller]

There's a link in the inline documentation for the pattern prop in dojo/number Unfortunately, I don't think the API parser has picked this up for a while.

​http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Number_Format_Patterns

I think the unicode stuff is based off the Java NumberFormat class.

Both of the cited pages link here:

This page gives the Unicode table inline and Adam's link to the full Unicode description of the format.
