The Format property represents the formatting settings for values that are shown in the text box. You can animate the Format property by associating it with the Format property of a database item or by entering a string that specifies the format rules (see Defining the Format of Displayed Values in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration).
The Format animations only have an effect on the text box when its Value property is animated to show a numerical value. For more information, see Animating Textboxes to show Values.
