Hi,

regexmode=0 does not show an error message as the doc says, at least how I understood it: "Component shows error, value is kept".
I expected it would show the error message, but keep the old value with red background, so that the user can edit it instead of re-typing everything.

Instead the component just accepts the value when I focus another field.

Reproducible with demo workspace, demo "Regular Expressions".

Best regards
Frauke

Hi Frauke,

during input the field is shown in error mode (red underlining + error image) if the input does not match. Regular expressions are always "only" checked during input - this is the behavior since 2007.

Kind regards! Björn

PS: we can always talk about some new mode... ;-)

Hi Björn,

thanks for the info - ah, yes, now I think I remember we already talked about it many years ago

Still if I could have a new regexmode with the same behavior as mode 1, except not switching back to the old value, please, I (and our customers) would be more than happy.

Also maybe the description of mode 0 is not quite exact, it it a little missleading.... but in the demo it says
"REGEXMODE = 0 (default - invalid input values are accepted)", which is very precise, I must admit! Maybe you can add this to the component doc as well.

Best regards
Frauke

...I like your word "missleading"...

So a REGEXMODE like this is do-able, of course. Will add it to our item list. Cannot promise for this week, but +2 week's version should be enough rime.

If you require it faster, please contact me directly!

Kind regards! Björn

"misleading"

Thanks a lot!
