hOW TO DEFINE INPUTMASK

[mol]

Hi!
I want to define numeric textbox, but I want to paste to definition my InputMask

I'm trying:

Code: Select all

		cMyFormat := "999 999.999"
		@ 30,250 TEXTBOX T_Ilosc ;
			Value 1 ;
			NUMERIC ;
			FONT "Arial" SIZE 9;
			WIDTH  120 HEIGHT 20;
			RIGHTALIGN ;
			INPUTMASK cMyFormat

but I can't compile it.
I've tried to use &cMyFormat
but it still causes errors.
I've tried with Format but witout good results, too.

Is it possible to change textbox' inputmask while application's running?

Hi Marek,

The problem is not in inputmask. It is in the order of parameters.

This is the syntax of @... textbox command

Code: Select all

@ <row>,<col> TEXTBOX <name>		;
		[ <dummy1: OF, PARENT> <parent> ] ;
                [ HEIGHT <height> ]		;
		[ WIDTH <w> ]			;
		[ FIELD <field> ]		;
		[ VALUE <value> ]		;
		[ < readonly: READONLY > ] 	;
		[ FONT <fontname> ]		;
		[ SIZE <fontsize> ]		;
		[ <bold : BOLD> ] ;
		[ <italic : ITALIC> ] ;
		[ <underline : UNDERLINE> ] ;
		[ <strikeout : STRIKEOUT> ] ;
		[ TOOLTIP <tooltip> ]		;
		[ BACKCOLOR <backcolor> ] ;
		[ FONTCOLOR <fontcolor> ] ;
		NUMERIC				;
		INPUTMASK <inputmask>		;
                [ FORMAT <format> ]		;
                [ ON CHANGE <change> ]		;
		[ ON GOTFOCUS <gotfocus> ]	;
		[ ON LOSTFOCUS <lostfocus> ]	;
                [ ON ENTER <enter> ]		;
                [ <RightAlign: RIGHTALIGN> ]    ;
		[ <invisible: INVISIBLE> ]	;
		[ <notabstop: NOTABSTOP> ]	;
		[ HELPID <helpid> ] 		

So, your code should be,

Code: Select all

      cMyFormat := "999 999.999"
      @ 30,250 TEXTBOX T_Ilosc ;
         HEIGHT 20;
         Value 1 ;
         WIDTH  120;
         FONT "Arial" SIZE 9;
         NUMERIC INPUTMASK cMyFormat;
         RIGHTALIGN

or simply you can use alternate syntax.

Many thanks Rathi!
I'm using an old minigui.chm where only positioned syntax is described.
I forgot that the order of phrases counts.

Mainly, I'm using IDE for defining window, but changing of inputmask is not possible "on the fly" (am I wrong???).
One of my clients requests parametric INPUTMASK

So, once again, thanks
Best regards!

Only now I had seen that the recent HMG reference is also not correct.

This work ok...

@ 30,250 TEXTBOX T_Ilosc ;
