Currency Formatting in a Text Input on a Form

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 158
Not sure if this can be done, but I have 2 Text Input fields on my form.  When enter numbers, I want them to show the currency format.
 
There is no Text section, only Default where I have the following formula: 
Text(Value(ThisItem.'Labor Cost'),"[$-en-US]$#,###.00")
 
But this does not return any formatting.  I tried to set the format from Number to Text and put the formula in the OnChange but that did not work either.
 
Suggestions?

    Try this
    1) Set(varCurrency, Whatever the default should be) when you load the page or form
    2) Set Default to varCurrency
    3) Set OnChange of the Text input to 
    Set(varCurrency,Text(Value(Self.Text),"[$-en-US]$#,##0.00"))
