Change decimal separator to point instead of comma

Hello

Currently I am using the SfPropertyGrid to set some floating point values. All I want to do is change the decimal separator to be a point instead of a comma. I believe it will have something to do with setting the culture of the element or something with localization but I have no idea how.

Good day 

I have run the sample app but the decimal separator is still a comma. Does it perhaps have to do with the region or culture of the machine it is running on ?
