TI.restrict = '0-9\\-'   Pim From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harald Dehn Sent: mardi 28 mars 2006 10:18 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: AW: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Beta 2 - Bug with mx.controls.TextInput restrict Property Hello Gordon,   Please look at the example: TextInput.restrict = "0-9 ,.\-" There is a backslash before the minus sign, but it doesn’t work.   Harry       Von: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Gordon Smith Gesendet: Dienstag, 28. März 2006 09:04 An: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Betreff: 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.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Chotin Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 10:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Beta 2 - Bug with mx.controls.TextInput restrict Property   Well you’re including the minus character in your restrict.  So it shouldn’t allow negative numbers.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harald Dehn Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 6:37 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Beta 2 - Bug with mx.controls.TextInput restrict Property   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   -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
