The ZeroPad property sets or returns an indicator that tells whether to pad zeros at the right of the decimal when the ValueToString method in the associated INumberFormat interface formats numbers.

The settings for ZeroPad are:

Setting	Description
False	(Default) Numbers are formatted without padding decimal zeros. The last decimal digit (to the right of the decimal point) is a non-zero digit.
True	Decimal zeros or significant digit zeros are appended at the right of the decimal point up to the number of places indicated in the RoundingValue property. The RoundingOption setting determines whether decimal zeros or significant digit zeros are appended.

 

To format numbers and express significant zeros at the right of the decimal, set ZeroPad True. For example, the number 12.0345 in 8 significant digits is the number 12.034500. In order to express the rightmost significant zeros, ZeroPad should be set True. With ZeroPad set False, the formatted number would be 12.0345.
