FlatEdit Pattern and SetMask

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   For a Flat Edit i set a Mask like "00.00.0000", "__.__.____" to make a input for a gerrman date like 17.05.2008. Is it possible to set a additive pattern, because a mask diesn't prevent for a case, where a user types in only 08 for the year.

	I try to solve this problem with .Pattern = "[^_]" becaus the "_" character ist the placeholder of the Mask. But it doesn't work. Does anybody hase an solution?

	Think we will add some new property. I don't see how you can implement it with Mask. :-(

	Hi Oleg, If you're giving this some thought then please also consider some method to stop illegal characters being entered or pasted (rather than allowing but showing the red underline). I want a NumberEdit box like the old ComponentOne TrueDBNumber control. This has number formatting, decimal places, min, max, spin buttons which behave intelligently, and doesn't allow any invalid characters to be entered. Also needed is a TimeEdit control. I'm sure adding these to your controls will be useful to just about everybody. Cheers Ian

	Yes, something like the TrueDbNumber Control would be nice! My thread to a similar problem: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10013&KW=
