@ron I think the best solution to your problem is to use a TextFormatter though. That's really awkward, I'll see if we can support this in a nicer way than JavaFX provides us with by default.

how would you use a textFormatter?

@ron Nobody knows, it's like an urban legend, promising to end all your formatting issues, but it's just impossible to use.

@ron Or.. at least .. hard 🙂 Will try to create a nicer wrapper.

Copy code

textfield(entry.sys) {
                    textProperty().addListener { observable, oldValue, newValue ->
                        if (!newValue.matches(Regex("\\d*"))) {
                            text=newValue.replace(Regex("\\D+"), "")
                        }
                    }
                }

the letters dont get added to the field, but the exception is still thrown

ron

this is ugly

@ron I'll take care of it after lunch 🙂

looks like the numberFormat.parse is called before the changelistener

ron

and to be more precise the exception is only thrown when the first character entered is not a digit

@ron I have a nice solution, committing soon.

I am very interested, especially how you are going to handle currency for example and thousand decimals

ron

in the netherlands its 1.000,00 and in the states its 1,000.00

ron

(just to give you some more ideas)

I am trying to understand at the moment at what you are doing with all that json stuff, just want to save an array to json the nice way (and read it back in of course)

edvin

12/21/2017, 11:59 AM

@ron I don't have to handle that at all, because I'm only supplying you with a way to filter/determine if the new input should be accepted or not. You're talking about the job of the stringconverter you apply to the textfield.

@edvin, do I understand correctly that hot reload can be disabled with something like

Copy code

class MyApp: App(...) {
    init {
        FX.reloadViewsOnFocus = false
        ...
    }
}

@edvin uploaded a file: TextField.filterInput {} input discriminator

@r4zzz4k Hot reload is not enabled by default, unless you explicitly enable it on the command line, in your app, or via the run configuration.
