hello all, I need to make an entry box for a video timecode value. the field comes up as "00:00:00:00" and the user can enter the timecode he needs.
the first behaviour I need for this field goes like, when the user just types "30404", the result should be "00:03:04:04" so with each keystroke I delete the first digit, append a new one at the end and shuffle them all around the ":" signs. it works, but for the moment the field comes up with the cursor positioned at the end. is it possible to select all the text in a field at beginsprite (that would make this behaviour more intuitive) ? the second behaviour I need goes like, when the user places his cursor p.e. between the third and the fourth digit and types "12321", the result should be "00:01:23:21" so I must not insert but replace digits, and here I am lost. I am not aware of an insert/replace property for textfields, and I don't know how to find or monitor the position of the cursor in the field. any help appreciated, sincerely, Erik Phalet mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +32/15/28 73 00 Option Facilities nv Zandvoortstraat 8, 2800 Mechelen Belgium [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
