formating fields

hi again, is there a way to format fields i.e. ##/#### where the / is not taken in the value regards, etienne

Hi Etienne, << is there a way to format fields >> The closest thing I know of is Larry Palmiter's format.r. It works more like C' sprintf than VB's Format function, just FYI. --Gregg

Hello, To make filters you must use a face within another face which has a detect feel. The detect feel allows you to filter out unwanted events cleanly.... its really easy, it just takes a little work. run the following: ------------------------------------------- rebol[] gui: layout [ bx: box 200x100] filter: "abc/" print "" ;open the console right away... so it does interrupt later gui2: layout [subbx: field] bx/feel/detect: func [face event][ switch event/type [ key [ ;print event/key either find filter event/key [ print ["letter" event/key "invalid... keystroke filtered out !"] return none ][ return event ] ] ] event ] bx/pane: append copy [] gui2 view gui ---------------------------------------------- you see that you can effectively filter out any letter this way... you could provide much nicer control just by putting some cool filter in the detect function above.. try these two, they are a little more "hacky"... ;-) --------------------------------- rebol[] gui: layout [ bx: box 200x100] filter: "abc/" print "" ;open the console right away... so it does interrupt later gui2: layout [subbx: field] bx/feel/detect: func [face event][ switch event/type [ key [ ;print event/key either find filter event/key [ print ["letter" event/key "invalid... keystroke filtered out !"] insert system/view/caret "*" system/view/caret: next system/view/caret show subbx return none ][ ;probe subbx/data return event ] ] ] event ] bx/pane: append copy [] gui2 view gui --------------------------------------------------- rebol[] gui: layout [ bx: box 200x100] filter: "abc/" print "" ;open the console right away... so it does interrupt later gui2: layout [subbx: field] bx/feel/detect: func [face event][ switch event/type [ key [ ;print event/key either find filter event/key [ alert rejoin [ {"} filter {" are not valid keys!}] return none ][ ;probe subbx/data return event ] ] ] event ] bx/pane: append copy [] gui2 view gui -------- HOPE THIS HELPS!!! -MAx
