formatting a decimal field as a date field

[chris_rover]

Hi,
I have a decimal field on a display that i am trying to get to show with time formatting. is there any way this can be done?
also, when i selected the "time" as the format, and I enter a figure, it changes it to only accept the last 4 figures(I am using a 6 digit field to hold hour, mins, and seconds).

In the Visual Designer, double click the field in question. You should be taken to the binding window.

In this window you should be able to select Time in the "Field Formatting" list and then scroll down in the "Time Format" list until you find the format you need.

Hi ,
that's what I've been doing. I have yet to get that displayed with any sort of time formatting. maybe I am doing something wrong. the user guide doesn't state anything about data formatting

Here is how I have the field defined in Visual Designer

Time_Decimal_Visual_Designer1.png (148.61 KiB) Viewed 1905 times

Here is the formatted output when run

Time_Decimal_Run.png (8.87 KiB) Viewed 1905 times

I could enter as many digits as I wanted. However, the run time will show a validation error unless the time is formatted as specified. So in my example, the colons must be included.

it worked. I was using a different time format, as shown below.

Glad it is working for you.
