Hello,

I didn't find any explanation to set a format to a form field.

I try to set SetFormFieldFormatMode to 15,

and set the value of the form field with SetFormFieldValue with a value and a format separed by a pipe |: the value is visible but the format didn't work.

I use Quck PDF Library version 16.11.

Thanks for every one with some informations.

Hi Dentor,

you know that it's mainly for textinput?
"...
Use the https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldFormatMode.php" rel="nofollow - SetFormFieldFormatMode function to allow text form fields to have a different value and formatted value.
..."
Is it an own formfield or is it a formfield from an external pdf form?

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Hello,

Thanks for helping.

It is during the creation of a new pdf form with Quick pdf Library, I use version 16.11.

My intention is to set a format to a new form field like date or other form field format, but perhaps it isn't the purpose of this function.

Yes... you're right. That's not the purpose ;-)
Please have a look at SetFormFieldValueEx:

Perhaps you'll find something if you're searching through the form field functions group:
