This would be very nice and save (me) countless lines of correction code.

NumberGadget(123,x,y,w,h,0,100,1) - 0 = Integer 1 = Float

Or Perhaps the functionality could be added as a parameter to TextGadget.
(I think NumberGadget makes more sense though)

What would be really cool, though would be a RegularExpressionGadget

eg: REGadget(GID,x,y,w,h,"[A-Z][A-Z][0-9]-[0-9][A-Z][A-Z]")

would only allow input of a UK style postcode eg: S43-2BB

NumberGadget will do just fine, though

You can specify #PB_String_Numeric with a StringGadget like so:

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0,200,200,250,100,#PB_Window_SystemMenu,"Numbers only!")
CreateGadgetList(WindowID())
StringGadget(0,10,10,225,20,"",#PB_String_Numeric)
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_EventCloseWindow

But this is a bit flawed, in that you can still paste other characters into it. *
Also, you'd have to do your own checking to ensure the number entered
doesn't go outside your min/max range. Still, it's a start.

(Edited to mention: * = Flawed by Win32 API, not by PureBasic).

Thanks PB, #PB_String_Numeric is not in the documentation under TextGadget() its really frustrating when that Fred does all this neat stuff but keeps it secret

But - it allows only 0123456789.

Sooo, Fred, any chance we could have:

#PB_String_Float to allow - (minus) and . (point) characters

That's because it only applies to StringGadgets, not TextGadgets.

TextGadgets are for displaying text, StringGadgets are for user input.
