RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Beta 2 - Bug with mx.controls.TextInput restrict Property

No; 'restrict' specifies what is accepted, not what is rejected.

 

The problem is that the minus sign (a.k.a. hyphen) is a metacharacter: look at how you're using it in 0-9 to mean 0 through 9. So you have to "escape" it by preceding it with a backslash.

Well you’re including the minus character in your restrict.  So it shouldn’t allow negative numbers.

Hello

 

I try to restrict the input of a TextInput Control with the following line:

 

TextInput.restrict = "0-9 ,.\-" + _CurrencySymbol;

 

Unfortuneally I can’t enter negative numbers in the box (it don’t accept the minus character). This example worked fine with the alpha version of Flex, I already reported the bug for the beta 1 version.

 

Harry
