TextBox should display text in hexadecimal in a specific format
- by Owais Wani
I have a textbox in my xaml file which is editable. Now according to my project requirements content in textbox should only be 0-9 and a-f (hexadecimal values) and textbox should take the input based on hexadecimal values.
Demonstratation:
12 ab 32 a5 64
Now if my cursor is at the end and i go on pressing backspace, it shud remove the values as it happens in a general text box.
Now If my cursor is at the beginning of a5, and i press "delete key", the value should become like:
12 ab 32 56 4
If my cursor is at the end of a5 and i press the 'delete key" nothing should happen.
I had done this successful in my C++ application as follows:
void CMSP430CommPanel::textEditorTextChanged (TextEditor& editor)
{
if(&editor == m_texti2cWrite)
{
int count = 0;
int location;
String text1 = m_texti2cWrite->getText();
String text = m_texti2cWrite->getText().removeCharacters(" ");
String hexString = String::empty;
int countCaret = m_texti2cWrite->getCaretPosition();
for(int i=0; i < text.length(); i++)
{
hexString = hexString + String (&text[i], 1);
if((i+1) % 2 == 0)
{
if(i != text.length()-1)
{
hexString = hexString + T(" ");
count ++;
}
}
count ++;
}
m_texti2cWrite->setText(hexString,false);
if(text1.length() == m_texti2cWrite->getCaretPosition())
{
m_texti2cWrite->setCaretPosition(count);
}
else
{
m_texti2cWrite->setCaretPosition(countCaret);
}
}
}
where m_texti2cWrite is the name given to textbox. How can i implement the same case in my wpf application which is MVVM based. I have a textbox which shud take inputs as I said above. please help!!!
