Hello,

Is there a way to control what the user have typed in an editable cell ?
Is it possible to use ValidationTextBox as a cell editor ?

formatter - for format validations

Submitted by kslam on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 10:28.

You could use the formatter attribute with the editable cell , if you are looking to validate the format of the input in to the cell.
dojox\grid\tests\test_edit.htm has samples on how to do that .

Formatter just format

Submitted by ektor_31 on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 10:43.

The formatter just formats what is displayed into the cell.
If I use :

formatStr = function(inDatum) {
if (inDatum.length > 4){
return inDatum.substring(0, 4);
}
return inDatum;
}

When the focus is lost on the cell, the value displayed will be truncated to 4 chr, but the real value of the cell will be the original text exceeding the size contraints.
Also, formatter doesn't provide a way to notify errors as with ValidationTextBox.

Any other idea ???

I've tried this and it seems to work fine. :))

dojo.provide("myGridTextBox");
dojo.declare("myGridTextBox",
dijit.form.MappedTextBox,
{
      validator: function(value,constraints){
   var maReg = new RegExp( "\\w+") ;
   var texte = this.textbox.value;
   var resultat = texte.match( maReg ) ;

   if ((resultat != null) &&
(resultat.length >= 0) &&
(resultat[0].length == texte.length)) {
return true;
   }
   else {
return false;
   }
}
}
);

...

var view1 = {
cells: [[
{name: 'Test2',
   editor: dojox.grid.editors.Dijit,
   editorClass: "myGridTextBox",
field: 'test2'
   }
   ]]
};

Any better idea ???
