inputMask and Validator not working together

michaelL

I have a TextField and the user should type in his birthda .
So i did a validator which works great but once i have an inputMask the validator does not work anymore:

TextField
 {
                    id: birthField
                    validator: RegExpValidator { regExp: /^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](19|20)\d\d$/ }
                    inputMask: "00-00-0000"
}

Any idea?

Hi @michaelL

I think that the problem is that you were not handling the blank ,

Actually when you start the program , because of the inputmask birthField.text will be equal to - -

So your regexp need to handle blank,

I've just changed your regular expression(with adding blank),this code should work for you

TextField
    {
        id: birthField
        inputMask: "00-00-0000"

        validator:
            RegExpValidator
        {
            regExp: /^( [0 ][ 1-9]|[12 ][ 0-9]|[3 ][ 01])[- /.]([0 ][ 1-9]|[1 ][ 012])[- /.]([1 ][ 9]|[2][0-1 ])[\d ][\d ]$/
        }
    }

I hope this can help you ,

Best regards !

@michaelL just set some text to it and it works properly:

TextField
{
      id: birthField
      text : "25/09/2017" //Add this
      validator: RegExpValidator { regExp: /^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](19|20)\d\d$/ }
      inputMask: "00/00/0000"
}
