Display format problem

rbuser

Hi there

I have a report using JITPipelines. I have a DBText control that looks at a
dtString field. I write click on the control and select "Display Format.." I
then type in the following mask :
c.cccccccccc;0

This should take the following string value xyzuio and display it as
x.yzuio. It does not apply the mask at all. I tried placing the '\' in font
of the "." but to know avail. I tried changing the "." to a "~" but no
change at all.

Any ideas.
Thanx

Hi Jerome,

Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? In my testing with
ReportBuilder 7.03 and Delphi 7, applying c.cccccccccc;0 to the
DisplayFormat of a DBText gave me the exact results you were after.
