Introduction

The Format Builder will allow you to create custom formats for nuDate and nuNumber.

To create a Format we need to do 2 things.

  1. Choose the Data Type.
  2. Build the Format.


Building a nuDate

To build a date format, click on a combination of the following options.

Entering a Date with the keyboard requires the user to enter the date in the exact format.

eg. mask - result (2007-13-01 15:20:01)

  • yy - 17
  • yyyy - 2017
  • pp - am or pm
  • dd - 21
  • ddd - Tue
  • dddd - Tuesday
  • mm - 03
  • mmm - Mar
  • mmmm - March
  • hh - 15
  • nn - 20
  • ss - 01

.. and some punctuation.

Building a nuNumber

To build a nuNumber format you will need to provide up to 4 things.


1. A Currency sign (not essential)

2. A Separator that will separate a large number into thousands. (not essential)

3. A Decimal point character (only essential if Decimal Places is greater than 0)

4. Number of Decimal Places.


Changing these will change the display of the Format field.

All of these 4 fields are nuScroll Input Objects (with default values that can be scrolled through but will also accept other characters.)
