I want to put a time field in my form with the pattern displayed like a telephone.
 
this is the pattern i want HH:MM , i did this in a textbox text{99:99} and it works but it doesnt show the colon ':' so its just a blank box. The colon shows up after you put 4 numbers. What is the correct way on this problem, thanks

This is the Acrobat forum for Windows, there a number of forums for LiveCycle Designer.

First, you need to select a Date Time field from LCD's catalog of fields. Then you can select the time option. A time field's format includes more than the colon, it also has to include range validation for the correct number of hours in a day and minutes in an hour. There are format options that include the 24 hour format and the am pm indicators. The validation of time input becomes critical when time calculations need to be performed.

Select the "Library" tab, then go to the "Standard" seciton and select "Date/Time Field".
