GetFormattedFieldValue Method

The GetFormattedFieldValue method gets the format that a field uses to store the value of a control. It uses the following syntax:

value = this.GetPM().ExecuteMethod("GetFormattedFieldValue", control_name, 
flag,index); 

where:

• control_name identifies the name of the control.

• flag is one of the following values:

  • true. Get the formatted field value from the work set.

  • false. Do not get the formatted field value from the work set.

• index is an index of the record set.

For an example that uses the GetFormattedFieldValue method, see Overriding Predefined Methods in Presentation Models.

You add the GetFormattedFieldValue method to the physical renderer.

Siebel Open UI gets the format according to the locale object. For example, 1000 is an unformatted value, and 1,000 is a formatted value.
