From OpenOffice.org Wiki

The formatted field control com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlFormattedField specifies a format that is used for formatting the entered and displayed data. A number formats supplier must be set in the FormatsSupplier property and a format key for the used format must be specified in the FormatKey property. It is recommended to use the property browser in the dialog editor for setting these properties. Supported number formats are number, percent, currency, date, time, scientific, fraction and boolean values. Therefore, the formatted field can be used instead of a date field, time field, numeric field or currency field. The NumberFormatsSupplier is described in Office Development.
