Multiple format representation for time input field

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Does anyone know if its possible to create a time input field that accepts 2 possible format eg : 0900 or 09:00 ?

I am able to do so for either format in the local dictinary but I am wondering if its possible to make the field accept both formats ? Thank you very much.

1. Create calculated attribute (read-write) in the same context node (or in 1..1 non-singleton sub-node)

2. In getter just return time field

3. In setter convert text eneterd from either format and assign it to time field.

Hello VS,

I assume this means that the representation field in the dictionary will not be valid for use then ?

Yes and no.

In fact you will hard-code format via parsing in setter method. However, represenation will be preserved via getter (if you follow exactly my advise). So user may type in several formats, but sees result only as it will defined by representation. Sure, you must support representation fromat in setter (and additionally several others)
