Re: Numeric Entry in an EditBox

@dodicat: I think OP's idea is to block any wrong entries right in the edit control.

I've given it a shot in Assembler, see Numbers only. Let me know if you can find any bugs... (I found half a bug already - it doesn't complain about 123.e)

I've promised myself many times that I would learn assembler, but nothing so far.

I've moved the code on a bit because the aim had always been to be able to use it in a grid of textboxes, which is part of a program I am working on. I've now done this; and because I've used Lothar Schirm's Simple Windows API Library I've placed the code there viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24617&start=45.

It still needs a bit of tidying up with formatting the display of numbers in the textboxes (say two or three decimal places), but that's for another day. I'm not the world's best programmer, so if anyone can see a better way to produce what I've done (but still using a grid of textboxes), I'm happy to see it.

I hope my code will be useful to someone.

Re: Numeric Entry in an EditBox

I NEED HELP!

You will need to use Lothar Schirm’s Simple WinAPI Library viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24617 to run the code.

The code is an extension of the code previously posted in this thread. What I want to do is to be able to decide, at the start of the program, how many rows I want to display in the grid. To do this, I start off with an EditBox and a Button. The number of rows is entered into the EditBox and clicking the buttons confirms this and the grid is set up accordingly.

Unfortunately, I can’t get it to work. I don’t know if it’s the hot weather, sagacity, or just my lack of ability, but I just can’t get it to work.
Can someone help please.

Code: Select all

Re: Numeric Entry in an EditBox

Usually for checking numeric entries in an edit box I would use regex. Here an example which is not perfect but a starting point.

Code: Select all

Code moved to https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26929
I know regex is hard to learn but worth to have a look...

Thank you for your response. I'll have a look at your code.

I think you may have misunderstood my problem. It is not numeric entry that is the problem. The numeric entry routine for the grid works very well.

My problem is that, as written, the number of rows in the grid (NumOfRows) is set to 4. I want to be able to change it to whatever I want when the program is running by entering the number into an EditBox at the head of the program. My problem is how to get this entry to communicate the value to the routine that sets up the grid.

Well, I wanted to show only an example how to filter for numeric entries within an edit box without creating a new thread.
So sorry when I didn't reply directly to your problem.

Re: Numeric Entry in an EditBox

there were some interesting tips regarding number filtering on the PowerBasic forum https://forum.powerbasic.com/forum/user ... -is-number
@RNBW
I ran your code with the lines un-commented that show the number in the textbox and one thing is obvious, the whole event mechanism is flawed, if there were a simple way to make a grid using WinFBE I might give the problem a try, as it is, it's more work than I want to do.
[dit] a simple grid by James Klutho http://www.planetsquires.com/protect/fo ... 3.msg30215 perhaps it could be adapted to your needs.
note that I had to remove several suffixes like & and $ to get it to compile.

Now it builds and runs, but it does not react to any commands, including the WM_CLOSE (Alt F4). I have to kill it in the console with Ctrl C.

Edit: detailed explanation here (Unicode & FB are not the best friends)

Re: Numeric Entry in an EditBox

Post by RNBW »

I don't have any difficulty with constructing a grid using EditBoxes. Nor do I have a problem with numeric entry into the EditBoxes. All I have a problem with is communicating the entry of number of rows in the grid from the first EditBox in the program to the construction of the grid.

To explain: the grid is currently set up with 4 rows by the variable NumOfRows = 4.

Let's say I want to have 8 rows and I am someone using a compiled version of the program, I would enter 8 in the first EditBox showing on the screen and this would alter NumOfRows to 8 (I would of course no longer fixing the variable NumOfRows = 4 in the original program).

What I can't do is find a way to make this work. There must be a way to do this, but it seems to be beyond me. I think it is something to do with the messaging, but I just can't get it to work and I'm hoping that someone who knows more about it can help me.

Not sure what the problem is. Can you post the code that constructs the grid of edit boxes?
It seems to me all you need to do is,

Code: Select all

dim as integer NumOfRows
input "Enter number of rows";NumOfRows
dim as integer NumOfCols
input "Enter number of rows";NumOfCols
createEditBoxArray(NumOfRows,NumOfCols)
Using an edit or edit boxes to replace the input statements.

Thank for for your response. I think I must not be explaining myself clearly.

The code for constructing the grid of EditBoxes is in the code under the comment ' SET UP THE GRID in the following code:

Code: Select all

'-------------------------------
'  SET UP THE GRID
'-------------------------------
vPos = 90: bHeight = 20
NumOfRows = 4
'NumOfRows = val(text)
For row = 1 To NumOfRows
   'hPos = 0 : bWidth = 0
   For col = 1 To 5
      Select Case col
      Case 1
         hPos = 10: bWidth = 65
      Case 2
         hPos = 75: bWidth = 380
      End Select
      Edit_Text(row, col) = EditBox_New(hPos, vPos+bHeight*(row-1), bWidth+1, bHeight+1, "",, Window_Main)
   Next
Next

FOR row = 1 to 1
   for col = 3 TO 5
         SELECT CASE col
            CASE 3 TO 4
               hpos =  col*65+(455-65*3) : bWidth = 65
            CASE 5
               hPos = (10+65+380)+(col-3)*65 : bWidth = 75
         END SELECT
         Edit_Text(row, col) = EditBox_New(hPos, vPos+bHeight*(row-1), bWidth+1, bHeight+1, "",, Window_Main)
   NEXT
NEXT

FOR row = 2 TO 4
   FOR col = 3 TO 5
         SELECT CASE col
            CASE 3 TO 4
                hpos =  col*65+(455-65*3) : bWidth = 65
            CASE 5
                hPos = (10+65+380)+(col-3)*65 : bWidth = 75   
         END SELECT
         Edit_Text(row, col) = EditBox_New(hPos, vPos+bHeight*(row-1), bWidth+1, bHeight+1, "",ES_RIGHT, Window_Main)
   NEXT   
NEXT
This is not the problem.

To try to explain more clearly:
* My original code for Numeric Entry Into a Grid Of textboxes was shown earlier in the thread.
* The grid was set up to a fixed grid of 4 rows and 5 columns.
* The code succesfully allowed filtered numeric entry into the grid, and calculations of vertical and horizontal totals.

What I want to do is to be able to vary the number of rows whilst the program is running, in particular at the startup of the program.

To do this I set up an EditBox and a Button to allow the number of rows required to be entered, using the code:

Code: Select all

' Gadgets to state number of rows
Label_a = Label_New(10,10,120,20,"How many rows?",, Window_Main)
Edit_a = EditBox_New(145,10,30,20,"", ES_CENTER or WS_BORDER, Window_Main)
Button_Num = Button_New(180,10,100,20, "Enter",, Window_Main)

* What I am tring to do is to communicate the number entered in the EditBox (Edit_a) into the variable NumOfRows.
* I appreciate that it will be necessary to change the code to remove all references to the fixed number of rows (in the variable NumOfRows = 4) from the code and just replace with the variable NumOfRows in the setup of the grid of EditBoxes.
* If the grid is then set up, I don't think I have a problem with the rest.
* The problem is that I don't seem to be able to get the value from EditBox Edit_a to the variable NumOfRows and then set up the grid.

I am happy with the rest of the code once the grid is set up from the variable NumOfRows, but I just can't get it to work.

I am using Lothar Schirm's Simple WinAPI Library viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24617.

I shall be grateful for any help. My head is aching with beating it up against a brick wall!!!!

Re: Numeric Entry in an EditBox

Post by BasicCoder2 »

Would be much easier to roll your own :)
Somehow you need to be able to redim the array.
Can you delete the grid box at any time? Then maybe set it up again with another numOfRows value?

Here I placed the setup code in a subroutine, setUpGrid(numOfRows)
When you enter a another number of rows it sort of works but everything else goes wrong maybe you can figure it out?

Code: Select all

Re: Numeric Entry in an EditBox

Post by BasicCoder2 »

As I mentioned above I find rolling my own faster and easier than trying to figure out how to use a GUI library.
Perhaps these examples might give a clue as to how to solve the problem using redim?

Code: Select all

type TextBox
    as integer x
    as integer y
    as integer w
    as integer h
    as string  t    'text
    as integer a    'active=1 
    as integer j    'justify left = 0 /center = 1/right = 2
    as integer posX 'retains info when text larger than width of text box
    as integer cur  'tb.cur
end type

'' Define a variable-length array
Redim shared array() As TextBox

'' ReDim array to have 3*4 elements
sub makeArray(col as integer, row as integer)
    ReDim preserve array(0 To col, 0 To row)
end sub

sub displayArray()
    dim as integer n
    For i as integer = LBound(array, 1) To UBound(array, 1)
        For j as integer = LBound(array, 2) To UBound(array, 2)
            array(i, j).t = str(n)
            Print array(i, j).t;"   ";
            n += 1
        Next
        Print
    Next
    Print
end sub

dim as integer colSize,rowSize

makeArray(5,5)
displayArray()
do
    input "Enter col,row";colSize,rowSize
    while colSize < 1 or rowSize < 1
        input "Enter col,row";colSize,rowSize
    wend

    makeArray(colSize,rowSize)
    displayArray()
    sleep 2
loop until multikey(&H01)
sleep
