Digit Shaping

Specifies the digit shaping option to apply. When National is selected, digit shapes are determined from the user’s content language. When Contextual is selected, digit shapes are determined from adjoining characters in the value. For example, if the most recent strongly directional character before the numerical character is left-to-right, the number is displayed as a European number. If the most recent strongly directional character before the numerical character is right-to-left, the number is displayed in Arabic-Indic format. If there are no strongly directional characters before the numerical character, the number is displayed according to the base text direction of the field. When None is selected, no shaping is performed, and the value as it appears in the data source is shown. The default depends on the type of value. When the value is a string, the default is None.
