Yes, Michael - that is PRECISELY what I am asking - In my App, I have a TextInput that is bound to a ValueObject (using the Curly Braces method) - and this TextInput needs to display numbers entered by the user, as Currency once that field loses focus.
Is it possible to have the user enter a number, and once the TextInput loses focus, have the number turn into a "$00.00" format (while still keeping the original intact, when sending back to the server)? I am sure this is quite easy to do, BUT will this get hosed up, if this value gets sent back to the server? This is why I mentioned, having an interim Variable hold the contents of the "Number". Even know my DataType on the SQL Server is "SmallMoney", it's still a Number within my VO Class File. Will this cause an error, since a String Var is required, in order to keep the $ format? This is where I could use some guidance...

I have a lot of textInputs that format on focus out. Is your concern that the data in the field is now 'formatted' so it will be useless for sending back to some server.
