Issue

Is it possible to call a formatter through script?

Solution

A) If you want to format a field in script, you can use the following code:

• Project.FieldFormatters.ItemByName("DefaultAmountFormatter").FormatField(pField)
   

B) You can user formatters directly as objects:

• DefaultAmountFormatter.FormatField(pField)
   

C) Table cells can be formatted the same way:

• DefaultAmountFormatter.FormatCell(pField.Table.Rows(0).Cells(0))
