Changing constraints on the fly
- by GoinOff
Hi,
I have a dijit.form.NumberTextBox input field that starts out with these parms:
new dijit.form.NumberTextBox({
id: din1,
style: "width:60px",
constraints: {
places: 0,
pattern: '######'
}
},
din1);
Everything works great..My question is I would like to change 'places' and 'pattern' parms on the fly. So I wrote this to change 'places' and 'patterns' parms:
var myFldObj = dijit.byId(din1);
if (myFldObj) {
var myConstObj = myFldObj.attr('constraints');
if (myConstObj) {
myConstObj.places = 2;
myConstObj.pattern = '#####.0';
}
}
So, after I show the form again, I'd expect the entry field to allow 2 decimal places but the form still acts like places=0 and pattern='######'. When I check the values of 'places' and 'pattern' I get what I'd expect (2 and #####.0). My question:
Can you change these values on the fly??
OR
Do you have to destroy the original dijit object and recreate with new parms??
Thx!!
