Re: [flexcoders] Text input live formatting

You can't really apply it to the field they are typing to.  You could, if 
you removed the Validator in this example, but it moves the cursor, and is 
just unusable.  You're welcome to try.  Here's a modified example from the 
help docs.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical">

 <mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[

   import mx.events.ValidationResultEvent;
   private var vResult:ValidationResultEvent;

     // Event handler to validate and format input.
     private function format():void {

            vResult = numVal.validate();

           if(vResult.type==ValidationResultEvent.VALID)
           {
               var temp:Number=Number(priceUS.text);
               formattedResult_lbl.text= usdFormatter.format(temp);
           }
           else
           {
            formattedResult_lbl.text = "";
           }
     }


  ]]>
 </mx:Script>

 <mx:CurrencyFormatter id="usdFormatter"
  precision="2"
        currencySymbol="$"
        decimalSeparatorFrom="."
        decimalSeparatorTo="."
        useNegativeSign="true"
        useThousandsSeparator="true"
        thousandsSeparatorFrom=","
     thousandsSeparatorTo=","
        alignSymbol="left"/>

    <mx:NumberValidator id="numVal"
     source="{priceUS}"
     property="text"
        allowNegative="true"
        domain="real"/>

 <mx:TextInput id="priceUS" change="format()" focusOut="format()"/>

 <mx:Label id="formattedResult_lbl" />

</mx:Application>

Subject: [flexcoders] Text input live formatting


Is there a way to apply number formatting (e.g., thousands separator) to
a text input while the user is typing the number?

Thanks.
