Numeric field validation

[Formzet_-_Zoete]

I have a numeric field that has a combination of 8 numbers/characters

It must be posible that the first number is a zero.

So i'm using the following pattern num{99999999}

This works fine, but when they enter only 2 numbers the field fils with zero's

How can i change this?

And how to do a validation on keystroke or exit that gives an error when the enter a non numeric character?

I entered 99999 on the validation pattern en entered an error message, but it doesn't work

Hi,

If you use a numericField instead of a textField, you don't have to worry about characters being inputted.

With the numeric field you can comb it to 8 digits and the display pattern of num{99999999} will work. You don't need any validation script then.

Good luck,

Niall

Yes, that's true

But my customer wants a warning when the enter an invalid character

So how can i do this?

Thank you,

Searching a forum in an other language then my own is sometimes hard.
