I have to textfield in midlet. One for entering the date in format (DD.MM.YYYY), second for enternig only one letter. Is it possible to set such constraints that the first textfield accepts only numbers and dots and the second only one symbol?
To make it accept only one symbol is very easy with TextField API - just properly use maxSize parameter in constructor or setMaxSize method.
It is not possible to set such constraints that a textfield accepts only numbers and dots.
To get an input like you describe, I would probably just use three NUMERIC text fields instead - for user to enter DD, MM and YYYY digits respectively

A custom DAC has a PK that is 10 characters length. The characters include a dash. Example: 10-117ASKP. I notice that it's not possible to type the dash character, in the UI. So I'm unable to assign the value. I added the correct value directly in the database table. The record is saved, but the UI shows the value without the dash. How to accomplish the goal?
I'm working on a small Project using Primefaces.
I'm trying to display value from my database with special formation
I store a String in my database which Looks like this 40;99;1;0;0;12
These are six different numbers seperated with a ;and they have a range between 0-99.
I want to display this value in an InputMask to make sure that the user doesn't forget the ;.
Now I have a problem with the format.
I'm using this
<p:inputMask id="myID" placeholder="Value" value="#{myClass.value}" mask="9?9;99;99;99;99;99"/>
I'm trying to say that the mask contains six "fields" for a number input and each field can contain a number between 1-99.
The problem is if the user writes the input as this 30;10;0_;0_;0_;4_Primefaces converts it to 30;10;00;04;__;_
Is there a good way to let the mask know that it can be a number with one or two digits?
Or is there a way to say, if input has just one digit put a 0 first
I dont know if this solution fits your needs, but you can define a custom mask
$.mask.definitions['h'] = "[0-9]{0,1}";
$("#form\\:your_input_mask_id").mask("hh;hh;hh;hh;hh;hh");
in your document.ready function. This will leave the _ character as is, but I guess you can handle it in your code when splitting the string and handling each part. I've put form\: because you generally put these inputs inside a form with id form. Change accordingly!
This has the downside though, that if you dont enter something, it will also validate, regardless of not being between 1 and 99.
I have a ListBox where I need to restrict the number of options selected to two. I'm using 8.5.2 so cannot use the SSJS custom validator, but I can use a Java validator. The Java validator received the submittedValue as a comma-separated String.
The problem occurs if a value contains a comma. In that case, if I split the submittedValue String on commas, my code will think more options have been selected than actually have been.
When the value is written back into the underlying Notes Document, the conversion to getValue() has correctly mapped values. So if getSubmittedValue() was a single option from the ListBox that contained a comma, getValue() gives me a single element rather than two elements.
My query is how to reproduce the getSubmittedValue() to getValue() conversion, to correctly work out how many options have been selected.
Paul, you actually can control the commas. The option has a display string and a value. You could substitute the comma for e.g. # and later before saving it back check if you have a # at the same position the display values have a , and save it then.
It's a lot more work - so not smart.
The other option: take the possible values out one by one:
sort them by size, longest first (this way you avoid having a value that is contained in another value to screw up (e.g. "Red boat" vs "boat"
take them out of the return string (if removal worked, then you have one, stop when you hit the 3rd)
.... but probably the easiest on is to do that in a little client side JavaScript counting the checked=checked values
We have designed the LN forms with editable fields.User enters the amounts in the editable fields. We are converting the these amounts to currency using 'CCur'. The actual issue is user enters the amounts with decimal separator either as comma(,) or dot(.). When converting the amounts to currency it is not considering the decimal and thousands separator.
Example:
User enters amounts as below: Amount1 = 2090,Amount2 = 1500,90 and Amount3 = 800
In the current case the TOTAL AMOUNT is calculated as 152980.00 which should be 4390.90
How can I achieve this? Do we have user specific settings in LN which automatically takes care such things?

Kishore
It sounds like your currency formats may not be set up correctly, and thus the locale of the client being used to enter the value 1500,90 is one that assumes the comma is a thousands separator, and the period is a decimal separator.
Here is one section of the documentation to check-out. You may need to confirm the field settings on the form to see if a custom currency format has been specified. Otherwise, see what the user preferences of the client says
For this question, I am not clear that why are you using comma as a decimal separator, I guess that it is not a formal way for storing the currency value. I can understand. this is your requirement. Just Take this as a suggestion. Okay We have the field property, First you change the field type as Number. And set the field control property, Number format is as currency and Change the User preference as Custom. There you can find two kind of settings enabled. Here you change the thousand separator into a different symbol. But I guess that you can not give multiple separator for decimal or thousands. Also If you give the same symbol for both things. It will be conflict.
My opinion- Based on your requirement, You do replace the comma with dot before applying the Ccur().
#Ramkumar: I don't agree. Set the field settings to Numeric and "User settings", not "custom". The users need to use the correct decimal point, if they are in a country where a period is used for decimal point, they use that, if they are in a country where they use comma as decimal point, they use that.
Kishore, you could add a field validation on the numeric field to make sure the value is numeric.
Use #IsNumber for this.
I have created a custom Date Class to handle bigger date and date from different calendar.
I would like to get date input from the user.The default DateField can't be used in this scenario since it can't handle big dates. So I would like to use the TextField instead.How ever, he existing constraints are not enough to constrain a date input like dd/mm/yyyy.
Can I create a custom input mask or any thing to constrain the DateField to accept only dd/mm/yyy ?
You can't create input mask for the TextField, the only way I could think of, is to create a custom component and handle the input yourself.
Or you could use three text fields beside each other and use NUMERIC constraint with maximum char size for each one.
Are you positive the DateField cant handle bigger formats?
Does J2me provide regular expressions, because that would definitely be the way to go for this.
