I am starting to use jface databinding in my app.
I would want to put a restrict on field Text for allow only digit, not char.
I found a snippet in swt like this:
However, I would put this restriction inside IValidator with binding. It
is possible?

The snipper code is:

DataBinding can handle this kind of thing easily, just set an IValidator
on the UpdateValueStrategy that you use when binding your widget to your
model.
The package org.eclipse.core.internal.databinding.validation has a bunch
of useful IValidator implementations for you to use, or you can write
your own.
The Data Binding snippets page
http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFace_Data_Binding/Snippets has some examples of
using validation.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks Eric,
I had just look IValidator, but it not prevent the user to insert a
wrong char. It signal to user that the string insert is wrong, but not
prevent to insert that. Example: I've a BigDecimal field as model and a
SWT Text field as Input, if the user insert "23.2a5" the IValidator
signal to the ui of the wrong string. But i would that when the user
insert "a" char the ui prevent to insert it as the snippet
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet19.java?view=co
do.
More, is possible with databinding formating the string? As example
currency, date, time etc

Thanks again

Stefano

This use case is not supported by DataBinding--you need to filter input
at the widget. You want to either use an SWT.Verify [1] listener on the
Text control, or use the FormattedText [2] control from Nebula.

I don't understand - why don't you just use the code from that snippet?
It has nothing to do with data binding, it just works.

Look at ComputedValue (again, the snippets page has an example).
