It doesn't work.
As I've said earlier, here is what I tried :
[ aFormatter setFormat:@"#,###.00 $;0.00 $;#,##0.00 $"];
[ aFormatter setLocalizesFormat:YES];
If I type 150 in my test field, the formatter correctly format to
150,00 €.
But if I type a number greater than 999, the formatter returns nil.

How about setLocalizesFormat:?
"Sets whether the dollar sign character ($), decimal separator
character (.), and thousand separator character (,) are converted
to appropriately localized characters as specified by the user’s
localization preference."

I understand what you mean.
What I don't understand is what is the official (i.e. Apple)
method to format a number with the localized format of the user ?
I can't guess what are the number format of every country in the
world, right ?

Hi All.
This is a basic flaw in the design of formatters in general.
Formatters should have separate, multiple, input formats and a
single output format. Or maybe multiple, localization dependent,
output formats. It is not too difficult to write your own
formatter. There are only a couple of methods to implement. I
once wrote a date formatter using flex that could recognize many
different date formats. If you want to use the parsing
infrastructure of NSNumberFormatter, you could just write a
wrapper formatter that contains multiple NSNumberFormatters, one
for each input format you want, and one for the output format.

exactly.
you have to type in $1 instead of 1 (pointed out by mmalcolm).
this is a problem i encountered before.
i don't know why it's so restricted and couldn't figure out how
to solve it, and ended up abandoning
NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle.
if anyone could offer a work around, i'd very much appreciate it.

I've typed exactly the lines you gave to me on my awakeFromNib :
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter
alloc] init] autorelease];
[numberFormatter setFormatterBehavior:
NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4];
[numberFormatter setNumberStyle: NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
[testTF setFormatter:numberFormatter];
}
(testF being the text field)
Now, each time I type a number (I tried typing "1") in the
field (and the fiel lose the first responder status), I have a
sheet that is displayed with a format error message (in french
is says "Erreur de formatage" that should translate in
"Formatting error").

[numberFormatter setFormatterBehavior:

[numberFormatter setNumberStyle: NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
should work.
also, a got-cha in NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle is that when
the control is set to display with currency style, it has to
have the input data WITH the currency symbol as well.
meaning (in US currency) when a user inputs "24.00" it is
considered inappropriate.
he/she has to input "$24.00".
i encountered this problem with my table column, if anyone
finds anyway around this or my information incorrect, please
do let me know.

-setNumberStyle: only works if you're using an
NSNumberFormatter that uses the Tiger behavior. Did you try
setting the behavior of the formatter first?
Yes, I've just added it doesn't format anything. If I type
1500 in the field, it remains 1500 instead of 1 500,00 €. I
just don't get it.
