I did use it as well! Although I wasn't sure if it was you that wrote it, I met so many Mathias's over the years, maybe it would be better if you had named it "HakanssonSLE" . In any case, very nice work!

Claudio DiNucci from Italy helped a lot when doing the tricky parts about editing numerics with picture clauses.

Hi Mathias,

Although your class is 20 years old, the behavior when entering especially float numbers is still unbeaten. Yes, there are some tricky parts, but the X# runtime even knows _GetStringDXAX() . The only problems have been the two PTR ( _cast , <string> ) and that a .net assign doesn´t return a value. Sure, there are still some tests to do, but it looks very good.

BTW. When I look at the last history entry:

[...]
1998-05-05 or 05.05.98
Now supports dates with pictures containing decimal points (.).
very small change in the decimalpos access.
[...]

is there a newer version available ? - though i can't imagine how to make it even more better

regards
Karl-Heinz

ok, now there are at least 3

Karl-Heinz: That's the first item. The last is
2002-10-01
Using the + and - did not work on an empty date.

If you don't have the latest version it can be found here:

Hi Mathias,

it would be a good idea to transport this code to WinForms and WPF....

Wolfgang

Yes Wolfgang, I agree. It sounds like Karl-Heinz already has. You are free to do so if you want. I don't have X# installed so I can't do it, at least not in the near future.

Hi Mathias,

since X# is open source and there is a free version, nothing can stop you from installing and using it on your private machine....

Wolfgang
P.S. I don't know if Karl-Heinz has moved it "only" to the VO GUI classes with X#... If you agree, I will try to adapt it for WPF.

Hi Wolfgang,

Yes, i´m talking about the X# VO GUI only. IMO it makes no sense trying to customize the code for a winform edit control or WPF. There are far too many dependencies to VO-specific edit internals.

@Mathias
thanks, later on i'll feed the compiler with the new version.

Karl-Heinz

@Karl-Heinz
There is a really big chance that it is the same version that you are already using. Nothing has changed since 2002 or so.

Karl-Heinz, have you looked at Willie Moore's rightSLE, he did it for WinForm and WPF as well. Maybe you can get some ideas how he did it. I see it is available on his website.
