This is without parens:
0.00;[Red]0.00
What I do is, define the cell they way I'd like it in Excel itself. Select
a number format and select a red text in the "Negative Numbers" window,
then I change the format to Custom and copy-paste the "Type" string which
is kind of like an edit word. That paste goes into the format string in
your program. Its good for generating currency formats too.

It gave me RED values in parentheses. But I can work on that. For some
reason I never thought to use number format on a formula cell.
Thanks.

Let me see if I can wrap my head around posting that format to a formula
cell. Maybe it's just me. I read that as being used in a numeric cell, and
I am creating a formula cell.
My cell contains for example
SS_FORMULA(ROW: 2: CFORMULA: COMMTOTAL).
Where CFORMULA is "(A2-A3)".
And COMMTOTAL is a predefined cell style.
A2 and A3 are numeric cells and I just need the difference positive or
negative.
I do have a sample of using data format to add a % to some cells, let me
add yours to my cell see what happens. Red would be enough for them I
think.

I have a sheet with calculations. If the value is negative make it red
and bold. Sounds easy I thought.
I've done plenty of wheel inventing, but I haven't ventured into straight
on conditional formatting. You can get red when negative formatting with a
edit word, but I don't think bold.
TempStr = new_String('#,##0_);[Red](#,##0)');
NumFmt = SSDataFormat_getFormat(DataFmt: TempStr);
