The following XSL examples are expression box controls, as specified in section 2.3.1.6.

The following example is an expression box control that is displaying the value of my:field1.

 <span class="xdExpressionBox xdDataBindingUI" title="" xd:xctname="ExpressionBox" tabIndex="-1" xd:CtrlId="CTRL3" xd:disableEditing="yes" style="WIDTH: 145px">
     <xsl:value-of select="my:field1" /> 
 </span>

The following example is an expression box control with conditional formatting that is displaying the value of my:field1.xd:datafmt is equal to ""datetime","dateFormat:Short Date;timeFormat:none;"". This formats the value of my:field1 to be a short date.

 <span class="xdExpressionBox xdDataBindingUI xdBehavior_Formatting" title="texas" xd:binding="my:field1" xd:xctname="ExpressionBox" tabIndex="-1" xd:CtrlId="CTRL4" xd:disableEditing="yes" xd:datafmt="&quot;datetime&quot;,&quot;dateFormat:Short Date;timeFormat:none;&quot;" xd:num="">
     <xsl:attribute name="style">
         WIDTH: 145px; 
         <xsl:choose>
             <xsl:when test="my:field1 = &quot;1&quot;">DISPLAY: none</xsl:when> 
         </xsl:choose>
     </xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="xd:num">
