Picture for IP Address

Hello All (and Happy New Year!)

I am getting tied up trying to work out the proper picture to use to enforce
correct IP Address entry into a field.  I have tried the following picture
token:-

@K<<#.<<#.<<#.<<#K

But it does not seem to work - Clarion will not accept any input, although
it does display the field initially as '  0.  0.  0.  0'

Is there something I have missed out on?

Cheers,

There is an example of how to use a windows common control for this here

Hej Devan.

Try put in a panel with inner and outter set -1 and fill color white. Put in
4 entry box witn attributtes transperent and flat. Make 4 variables; ip1,
ip2, ip3 and ip4, all string S3. Put one in every entry box with picture
@N03. Now put 3 strings in the panel container a dot, ".", background color
white, and place between the entry boxes. With a little code you can collect
all entry boxes to one variable and back again when window opens.

It works good and looks fine.

Good luck

Jesper
