Use javascript to create a display pattern

I have a text field that is subject to parameters regarding display (color, font, posture) in the initialize, enter, and exit event for the field. With this script, using the display patterns on the object palette apparently will not work because of the code. Seems like the logical solution would be to add a pattern definition in the exit event. However, I do not know the syntax for this. I am looking to apply a US currency pattern such as num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)} to the field. I have tried things like this.font.pattern = num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)}; but that does not seem to work.

Can anyone suggest the right code?

Hi there,

I think what you are looking for is the following:

this.format.picture.value = "num{($z,zz9.99)}";

Hope this help.

I used your suggestion as follows:

this.format.picture.value = "num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)}";

in the enter event and it worked like a charm.

Thanks.
