Provides access to members that format numbers.
The INumberFormat interface exposes the two number formatting methods used by several interfaces and coclass objects. The ValueToString method formats numerical values in a variety of formats depending on the interface used and its property settings. The StringToValue method returns values from formatted strings.
Use the ValueToString method to format numbers with any of the objects listed under CoClasses below. Use the StringToValue method to convert formatted strings to numeric values.
