Formats applied to empty cells ANYWAY?

Hi,

i've set a currency format
var money = new AW.Formats.Number;
money.setTextFormat(\"#.###,##\");
  and applied it to a specific column (say, column #2)

obj.setCellFormat(money, 2);
  Now, if any of the cells from column 2 is empty, or filled with blanks, the format is applied anyway, resulting in the cell showing "0,00" instead of null as I'd like.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, ciao

Ignore the backslashes (coming from the fact that I'm generating this code with PHP):

var money = new AW.Formats.Number; 
money.setTextFormat("#.###,##"); 
obj.setCellFormat(money, 2); 
 

Anybody with a solution yet?
Heeeelp!!

I guess I should add special case for null or empty values but for now you can just modify formatting method -

var money = new AW.Formats.Number; 
money.setTextFormat("#.###,##"); 

money.dataToText1 = money.dataToText;
money.dataToText = function(data){
    return data ? this.dataToText1(data) : "";
}

obj.setCellFormat(money, 2);  


 

Thanks Alex, it works perfectly!

I have the same problem with Date format but the grid displays #ERR whent the cell is empty.

Alex I tried your work around but it gives me a Stack overflow error
