legacyNumberFormat property

FieldOptions.legacyNumberFormat property

Gets or sets the value indicating whether legacy (early than AW 13.10) number format for fields is enabled or not.

get legacyNumberFormat(): boolean

Remarks

When this property is set to true, template symbol “#” worked as in .net: Replaces the pound sign with the corresponding digit if one is present; otherwise, no symbols appears in the result string.

When this property is set to false, template symbol “#” works as MS Word: This format item specifies the requisite numeric places to display in the result. If the result does not include a digit in that place, MS Word displays a space. For example, { = 9 + 6 \# $### } displays $ 15.

The default value is false.

Examples

Shows how enable legacy number formatting for fields.

let doc = new aw.Document();
let builder = new aw.DocumentBuilder(doc);

let field = builder.insertField("= 2 + 3 \\# $##");

expect(field.result).toEqual("$ 5");

doc.fieldOptions.legacyNumberFormat = true;
field.update();

expect(field.result).toEqual("$5");
