Wish JFormattedTextField

[Ilya G.]

Hi, is it possible to wrap JFormattedTextField for B4J?

This is a swing element. It will be less useful with B4J which is based on JavaFX framework.

Is there any view with similar functionality? i need to limit input to numbers only and output thousands separator

You can do something similar in B4J.

it is very inconvenient to edit that field because SelectionStart set to end of text

Modifying the text while the user writes it is a good way to assure that the user experience will be very bad.
Better to set the border to red or something like that. You can also change the text when the focus is lost and add the separators.
