The currency field control com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlCurrencyField can be considered a specialization of the com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlNumericField. It is used for entering and displaying currency values. In addition to the currency value, reflected by the property Value, a currency symbol, set by the CurrencySymbol property, is displayed. If the PrependCurrencySymbol property is set to true, the currency symbol is displayed in front of the currency value.

  public XTextComponent insertCurrencyField(XTextListener _xTextListener, int _nPositionX, int _nPositionY, int _nWidth){
  XTextComponent xTextComponent = null;
  try{
      // create a unique name by means of an own implementation...
      String sName = createUniqueName(m_xDlgModelNameContainer, "CurrencyField");
      
      // create a controlmodel at the multiservicefactory of the dialog model... 
      Object oCFModel = m_xMSFDialogModel.createInstance("com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlCurrencyFieldModel");
      XMultiPropertySet xCFModelMPSet = (XMultiPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XMultiPropertySet.class, oCFModel);
      
      // Set the properties at the model - keep in mind to pass the property names in alphabetical order! 
      xCFModelMPSet.setPropertyValues(
      new String[] {"Height", "Name", "PositionX", "PositionY", "Width"},
      new Object[] { new Integer(12), sName, new Integer(_nPositionX), new Integer(_nPositionY), new Integer(_nWidth)});
