textField and regular expression?

[franklt69]

Hi I would like to know how work the textField and regular expression, I am doing it:

var phoneNumberExpr = /\(?\d{3}\)?([-\/\.])\d{3}\1\d{4}/;

new Ext.form.TextField({
fieldLabel: 'Telephone ',
name: 'Telephone',
width:240,
regex: phoneNumberExpr,
regexText: 'the format is xxx-xxxx-xxxxx',
allowBlank:false

}),

but never the validations appear, I am missing something

kind regards
Frank

I did it and work but is always required to make a function validator?

new Ext.form.TextField({
fieldLabel: 'Telephone',
name: 'Telephone',
width:240,
regex: phoneNumberExpr,
invalidText: 'The format is wrong, ie: 305-444-5555',
allowBlank:false,
validator: function(value){
re = new RegExp(phoneNumberExpr);
return re.test(value);

}

}),


kind regards

Frank, that should work. I'm not sure about the regex though. One thing you may try is VTypes for that. Something like this in your global Ext config file:


Ext.apply(Ext.form.VTypes, {
'phone': function(){
var re = /\(?\d{3}\)?([-\/\.])\d{3}\1\d{4}/;
return function(v){
return re.test(v);
}
}(),
'phoneText' : 'The format is wrong, ie: 305-444-5555'
});

You could even add a second regexp for masking if you wanted to.

Then on your field:


new Ext.form.TextField({
fieldLabel: 'Telephone',
name: 'Telephone',
width:240,
vtype: 'phone',
....
});

Thanks, Jack Ext1 support masking I means I can type in textField the phone number and appear the chars (305)203-5555 or I type a IP adrress and appear the dot?
192.168.0.2, its supported in ext1?

No, the masking is simple - it just prevents invalid keys from being entered.

Ok, is there some plan to support it in the future?

It's not planned but it may happen someday. :)
