Setting the text format to a float in a layout

[GerrieF]

Good day

For some reason when I am setting the format of a text field (value read from a DP as a float), to the format of the DP, the text box size increases.
Example:
I am setting the value and the format to my text field.


When pressing the button above this is the code:

Code: Select all

main(mapping event)
{
  string DP = dpSubStr(dollarP_DP+"."+dollarP_DPE, DPSUB_SYS_DP_EL);
  string sFormat = dpGetFormat(DP);

   setValue("text_indicator", "format", sFormat);
   DebugN(DP,sFormat);

}
