Optional length in integer format

Classic Servoy

Hi,

I need an input mask (format) for a number of integer fields. I need the format to only allow for integers, and at the same time a limit the number of digits that can be entered. The basic “#” or “####” will not do because they allow for either “any number of integers” or a “restricted number ofg integers”. I would need something like:

#?##, which would mean: If you enter a integer you can enter up to 3 integers, but that last 2 are optional.

This would allow for:

[null]
1
12
123

but not

1234

Sorry for the lengthy explanation, but I hope the problem is clear.

in 6 you can specify in the format property the max length for number/integer columns.

Thanks,

I will wait for 6 then. Will this also include the visual indicator “_” to show the user the max length?

R,

now that is not supported by the number formater
If you want to show stuff like that you have to use a Column converter that converts Number (db) ↔ String (ui)
and then have a mask on that field…
This you should be able to do already right now in 5.2
