hi,
if i create a new EditField I can say taht only numbers are allowed. But what is if I want to enter a float value, e.g. $34.45 ?

is there a filter, too?

thanks hibbert

How about a BasicEditField with BasicEditField.FILTER_REAL_NUMERIC specified in the style.

hey,
ok, but is there a way to say that only 2 chars are allowed after the point??

thanks hibbert

you can use two fields, the second one with a max input length. or check the input programmatically, either after the input or using keychar to control it while typing.

Or you can write your own input filter.

hi,
working with two EditFields.... that's not what i'm searching for. using the keychar would be a way, but the idea to Write an won InputFilter sounds interesting. How do i do this?

ok, i have found how to create my own InputFilter:

setFilter(new TextFilter(){

But I only want to accept numbers and ',' or '.'. And if the User presses the 'W'-Key, then a '1' should be written into the box, but i don't know how to do this.

maybe someone can help me

thanks hibbert
