Form with

LP2R4T

Hello,

How can I create a form with a fillin field that accepts multiple decimal values similar to the Grid spacing Setup menu in APD.

Spacing x: 25.00 25.00 25.00 

now the formfield looks like this:

FORMFILE FIELD current_grid_x_grids
FORMFILE FLOC 30 4
FORMFILE STRFILLIN 30 256
FORMFILE ENDFIELD

The problem is that it accepts all string values.. 

Thanks in advance

 

  • I don't believe you can *limit* STRFILLIN to only numerical values. What you can do is verify that only numerical values were entered in to the field. If it's not you can make the field active and send a message to the form to tell the user to use only numerical values. You could also use a confirmer with an example.

  • In your form callback routine you would need to have something like this:

    unless(rexMatchp("^[-]*[0-9]*[.]*[0-9]+$", formID ->curValue)
     axlFormRestoreField(form, formID ->curField), axlFormMsg(form, "warningmsg", "Invalid number")
    )

  • Thanks Dave,

     I'm not fimilar with the following controls "^[-]*[0-9]*[.]*[0-9]+$" but if I want the form field STRFILLIN  to accept more then one set of numerical values in the same field like this 24.77 33.78 455.689 555.99 what would be the controls

     

  • Try something like:

    unless(forall(nStr, parseString(formID ->curValue), rexMatchp("^[-]*[0-9]*[.]*[0-9]+$", nStr))
     axlFormRestoreField(form, formID ->curField), axlFormMsg(form, "warningmsg", "Invalid number list")
    )

  •  To be more specific I want to the field to accept at least 4 numerical values (7 with 2 decimals) 1111111.11 2222222.22 3333333.33 4444444.44
