Is IP address input widget available [message #453827]

I have a ip address input field (Text). Is there any way to make it 4
segments ( . . . ), and only valid input allowed ( eg 0-255 for
each segment)?

Any information would be appreciated!

The only way I can think of is to use the text widget in the swt.custom
package and do some creative paint listening. I can't think of any way
to do it natively.

Thanks!
I created a IPText widget extends Composite, which has 7 Text widgts as
children of this. It seems work fine.
public IPText ( Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
final FormLayout formLayout = new FormLayout();
this.setLayout(formLayout);

init();
createTextBoxes(); // create text boxes

}

I tried to register a listener public void addModifyListener
(ModifyListener listener) {
checkWidget ();
if (listener == null) error (SWT.ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT);
TypedListener typedListener = new TypedListener (listener);
addListener (SWT.Modify, typedListener);
}

But this listener does not catch modify event from its children, Text. Is
there any way I can propagate event to its parent? Such as :
public void addModifyListener (ModifyListener listener) {
checkWidget ();
if (listener == null) error (SWT.ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT);
TypedListener typedListener = new TypedListener (listener);
addListener (SWT.Modify, typedListener);

//text is one of the children
text. addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() {
public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
// send ModifyEvent to texts parent, IPText.
}
});
}

Thanks so much!!
Ellen

You will need to hook the event on each widget. This event (and most
others) are not propagated.

Thanks. I made it work.

public void addModifyListener (ModifyListener listener) {
// redirect text box event to caller
for (int i = 0; i < ipSegments.size(); i++) {
if ( (i % 2) == 0 ) {
Text t = (Text)ipSegments.elementAt(i);
t.addModifyListener(listener);
}
}
}
