The ShowPlusSign property sets or returns an indicator that tells whether or not a plus sign symbol (+) is to be prefixed to positive numbers when the ValueToString method in the associated INumberFormat interface formats numbers.

The settings for ShowPlusSign are:

Setting	Description
False	(Default) Positive numbers and zero values are formatted without a plus sign. Negative values are formatted with a minus (-) sign.
True	Positive numbers are formatted with a plus (+) sign. Zero values are formatted without a plus sign. Negative numbers are formatted with a minus (-) sign.

Remarks

Using ShowPlusSign can be useful in conjunction with IFormattedGridLabel, where a user might not know if the number is above or below the Equator, or east or west of the Central Meridian.

Also see the ShowDirections property in ILatLonFormat.
