Class FieldFormat

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.aspose.words.FieldFormat
public class FieldFormat 
extends java.lang.Object

Provides typed access to field's numeric, date and time, and general formatting.

Example:

Shows how to format field results.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Use a document builder to insert a field that displays a result with no format applied.
Field field = builder.insertField("= 2 + 3");

Assert.assertEquals("= 2 + 3", field.getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals("5", field.getResult());

// We can apply a format to a field's result using the field's attributes.
// Below are three types of formats that we can apply to a field's result.
// 1 -  Numeric format:
FieldFormat format = field.getFormat();
format.setNumericFormat("$###.00");
field.update();

Assert.assertEquals("= 2 + 3 \\# $###.00", field.getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals("$  5.00", field.getResult());

// 2 -  Date/time format:
field = builder.insertField("DATE");
format = field.getFormat();
format.setDateTimeFormat("dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy");
field.update();

Assert.assertEquals("DATE \\@ \"dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy\"", field.getFieldCode());
System.out.println("Today's date, in {format.DateTimeFormat} format:\n\t{field.Result}");

// 3 -  General format:
field = builder.insertField("= 25 + 33");
format = field.getFormat();
format.getGeneralFormats().add(GeneralFormat.LOWERCASE_ROMAN);
format.getGeneralFormats().add(GeneralFormat.UPPER);
field.update();

int index = 0;
Iterator<Integer> generalFormatEnumerator = format.getGeneralFormats().iterator();
while (generalFormatEnumerator.hasNext()) {
    int value = generalFormatEnumerator.next();
    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("General format index {0}: {1}", index++, value));
}

Assert.assertEquals("= 25 + 33 \\* roman \\* Upper", field.getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals("LVIII", field.getResult());
Assert.assertEquals(2, format.getGeneralFormats().getCount());
Assert.assertEquals(GeneralFormat.LOWERCASE_ROMAN, format.getGeneralFormats().get(0));

// We can remove our formats to revert the field's result to its original form.
format.getGeneralFormats().remove(GeneralFormat.LOWERCASE_ROMAN);
format.getGeneralFormats().removeAt(0);
Assert.assertEquals(0, format.getGeneralFormats().getCount());

Assert.assertEquals("= 25 + 33  ", field.getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals("58", field.getResult());
Assert.assertEquals(0, format.getGeneralFormats().getCount());
