Hello Guba,
How can I convert AnsiString with ThousandSeparator to Float
for example (AnsiString 100.000,00 ->Float 100.000,00)
Here is a short example of removing your comma and converting.
If you want, you can use the same example and change the period to a command
and comma to a period.
int a;
AnsiString Buf1;
Buf1=Form1->Edit1->Text;
while(a=Buf1.Pos(','))Buf1=Buf1.SubString(1,a-1)+Buf1.SubString(a+1,Buf1.Len
gth()-a);
Form1->Edit2->Text=Buf1;

Hello Guba,
There is no way to do that. As long as I have already sent you a copy of the text of StrToFloat help, no other signal except the decimal point ( or comma) may be present. So you should remove all thousand separator of the string before try to convert it.
If you are getting the currency value from a database table you can just use the AsFloat property instead of AsString, and the BDE will the job for you.

Hello Guba,
You migth use the code bellow to delete de invalid entries :
System::AnsiString Source = 1.000.000,54 // ThousandSeparator = '.' (dot)
for( int i=1; i< Source.Length(); ++i){
if(Source[i] == ThousandSeparator) Source.Delete(i,1);
}
