DCGET PICTURE "(999)999-9999" problem

What is the problem with the picture?
It works for me.

When you get to a field with a phone-like picture, it's normal to start typing numbers. And precisely when you start to type the numbers, the cursor returns back, and is placed on top of the left parenthesis, and the keyboard inputs are blocked.

To get the cursor out of that inertia, press the right arrow key. And, this situation is very uncomfortable for users. In version 1.90, this did not happen to me. It only happens to me after I compile my project with version 2.0

Best regards.

I agree that this appears to be a problem with Xbase++ 2.0.

I'll see if I can give you a workaround.

Here is a fix for you:

Code: Select all

#INCLUDE "dcdialog.CH"

FUNCTION Main()

LOCAL GetList[0], cPhone

cPhone := Space(13)

@ 0,0 DCSAY 'Phone' GET cPhone PICTURE '(999)999-9999' ;
      GETEVAL {|o|o:savePos := 2}

DCREAD GUI FIT

RETURN nil


PROC appsys ; return

Done, fixed.

It worked very well for me.

Thank you Roger.
