Format a field as the user types

[Narzerusz]

Hello everyone. I've been trying to find a nice way to format a field while the user is typing.

For example:
Raw input: 123456
Expected Format: 123.456

So, when the user types 1234 it should instantly change to 1.234

I've juggled a bunch of hacky workarounds such as unfocusing and re-focusing the field but this leaves the field's text selected.  Another thing I tried was to simply set the rawValue of the input to a formatted version of the text, but nothing happens (I'm guessing LiveCycle Designer dissalows fields content to be changed while they are focused)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

This works only when the field is exited, but you could just use a Pattern.

Select a Pattern

Click OK

Type in your field
