Formatting EditText

[Izzy]

Hello everyone,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me with a problem I'm having. I've tried looking up the correct syntax I need for my situation, but haven't been able to do so.

Basically, I've made a user form in Basic4Android. In this form I have an EditText for date and time. What I'm wondering is how can I format what the user puts into these text boxes? What I'd like to do is use this code

txtdate.InputType = txtdate.INPUT_TYPE_NUMBERS

to only allow the user to use the number keypad when entering in values in the text box, but how would I make the program throw in the /'s so it can be 11/11/11? And the same with the : in time?

Thanks for reading,

Iz

Date format inside edittext

Hi there i've never tried this but this should be a start, let me know if it works!

Sub EditText1_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
   If New.Contains(" ") Then
   edittext1.Text = New.Replace(" ", "/") 
   edittext1.SelectionStart = New.Length
   End If
End Sub

it won't work if you set the edittext.typeinput to numbers only.

Give it a try!

Regards,
Walter
