FilterKeyPress ?

[mrdude]

I had an apms 6 project and part of the code was to filter characters in an input box:

FilterKeyPress(this, e_Key, "1234567890.")

While in apms 6 this worked fine and I could input lots of characters - in amps 7 is doesn't work as it only allows me to put one character in the input box at a time, what's changed in apms 7 that causes this? and is there a workaround?

Doh! found the answer using google - which brought me back to a post on here, funny though as the search on the forum didn't show it up.

Sorted anyway though!

In the input box onkey event:


FilterKeyPress(this, e_Key, "1234567890.")


In the global functions

function FilterKeyPress(InputObject, e_Key, sAllowed)
sOrig = Input.GetText(InputObject)
sFilter = String.TrimLeft(sOrig, sAllowed)
sFilteredLeft = String.TrimLeft(sOrig, sFilter)
sFilteredRight = String.TrimRight(sFilteredLeft, sFilter)
Input.SetText(InputObject, sFilteredRight)

Input.SetSelection(InputObject, String.Length(Input.GetText(InputObject)) + 1, String.Length(Input.GetText(InputObject)))
Input.SetSelection(InputObject, -1, 1)
end


That's all - I think.

Ah thanks, i'm trying to understand string.gfind to try to regex some strings... I managed to do some basic things, but the real regexing is still to dam hard.

Gotta keep trying though ^^
