Data formatting in DataForm: numeric + datetime fields

[Nicolas]

Hi, I am trying to format numeric + datetime fields  in dataform to show a particular format:

For numeric, I need a standard "000" format. So if I enter 50 on the numeric pad, I get 050 on the form. I tried the windows Format string (I would use "D3" to get this particular format I believe), but now this does not work.

As for the DateTime field, I am only interested in the hh:mm, I don't want the datetime picker to appear. I could do it manually using strings, and enter 00:15, but would like to enter only 4 digits (int) with the numeric pad, so we would have a string ":" in the middle. This way I can read it as a string and parse it to datetime. Or can we have a string where we see this ":" in the middle and 00 on each side? We could use 2 fields, and 1 label in between, but you know, ... :)

Can you help me find a way around for this?
