identifier

Returns or sets the letter that selects the format of a format item.

Get

Returns a String.

Syntax: object.identifier

object
required An object expression that evaluates to a StringFormatSpecifier.

The default value is an empty string, which means that the item has no identifier.

Let

Sets the identifier.

Syntax: object.identifier = value

value
A String, normally one character such as "F" or "x".

Remarks

StringHelper sets the property from the first character after the colon of a format item, so {0:F2} gives F. The rest of the text after the colon goes to CustomSpecifier.

The property keeps the letter as written, including its case. The format identifier classes compare it with their own letter, and HexSFI and GeneralNumericSFI copy its case into their results.

Example 

Dim spec As New StringFormatSpecifier
spec.identifier = "x"

Dim f As IStringFormatIdentifier
Set f = HexSFI
Debug.Print f.IsIdentifierMatch(spec)         ' True
Debug.Print f.GetFormattedValue(255, spec)    ' &hff

Set f = CurrencySFI
Debug.Print f.IsIdentifierMatch(spec)         ' False
