Delphi 7 - Force InputBox to integer only?
Using Delphi 7, is there anyway to force inputbox to allow only numbers entry from 0 to 100 ?
Thanks!
Solution
You could easily write your own 'super dialog' like
type
TMultiInputBox = class
strict private
class var
frm: TForm;
lbl: TLabel;
edt: TEdit;
btnOK,
btnCancel: TButton;
shp: TShape;
FMin, FMax: integer;
FTitle, FText: string;
class procedure SetupDialog;
class procedure ValidateInput(Sender: TObject);
public
class function TextInputBox(AOwner: TCustomForm; const ATitle,
AText: string; var Value: string): boolean;
class function NumInputBox(AOwner: TCustomForm; const ATitle,
AText: string; AMin, AMax: integer; var Value: integer): boolean;
end;
class procedure TMultiInputBox.SetupDialog;
begin
frm.Caption := FTitle;
frm.Width := 512;
frm.Position := poOwnerFormCenter;
frm.BorderStyle := bsDialog;
lbl := TLabel.Create(frm);
lbl.Parent := frm;
lbl.Left := 8;
lbl.Top := 8;
lbl.Width := frm.ClientWidth - 16;
lbl.Caption := FText;
edt := TEdit.Create(frm);
edt.Parent := frm;
edt.Top := lbl.Top + lbl.Height + 8;
edt.Left := 8;
edt.Width := frm.ClientWidth - 16;
btnOK := TButton.Create(frm);
btnOK.Parent := frm;
btnOK.Default := true;
btnOK.Caption := 'OK';
btnOK.ModalResult := mrOk;
btnCancel := TButton.Create(frm);
btnCancel.Parent := frm;
btnCancel.Cancel := true;
btnCancel.Caption := 'Cancel';
btnCancel.ModalResult := mrCancel;
btnCancel.Top := edt.Top + edt.Height + 16;
btnCancel.Left := frm.ClientWidth - btnCancel.Width - 8;
btnOK.Top := btnCancel.Top;
btnOK.Left := btnCancel.Left - btnOK.Width - 4;
frm.ClientHeight := btnOK.Top + btnOK.Height + 8;
shp := TShape.Create(frm);
shp.Parent := frm;
shp.Brush.Color := clWhite;
shp.Pen.Style := psClear;
shp.Shape := stRectangle;
shp.Align := alTop;
shp.Height := btnOK.Top - 8;
shp.SendToBack;
end;
class function TMultiInputBox.TextInputBox(AOwner: TCustomForm; const ATitle,
AText: string; var Value: string): boolean;
begin
FTitle := ATitle;
FText := AText;
frm := TForm.Create(AOwner);
try
SetupDialog;
edt.NumbersOnly := false;
edt.Text := Value;
result := frm.ShowModal = mrOK;
if result then Value := edt.Text;
finally
frm.Free;
end;
end;
class procedure TMultiInputBox.ValidateInput(Sender: TObject);
var
n: integer;
begin
btnOK.Enabled := TryStrToInt(edt.Text, n) and InRange(n, FMin, FMax);
end;
class function TMultiInputBox.NumInputBox(AOwner: TCustomForm; const ATitle,
AText: string; AMin, AMax: integer; var Value: integer): boolean;
begin
FMin := AMin;
FMax := AMax;
FTitle := ATitle;
FText := AText;
frm := TForm.Create(AOwner);
try
SetupDialog;
edt.NumbersOnly := true;
edt.Text := IntToStr(value);
edt.OnChange := ValidateInput;
result := frm.ShowModal = mrOK;
if result then Value := StrToInt(edt.Text);
finally
frm.Free;
end;
end;
This dialog allows both text and integer input:
v := 55;
if TMultiInputBox.NumInputBox(Self, 'This is the title', 'Enter a number between 1 and 100:', 1, 100, v) then
ShowMessage(IntToStr(v));
or
s := 'Test';
if TMultiInputBox.TextInputBox(Self, 'This is the title', 'Enter some text:', s) then
ShowMessage(s);
Update
A commenter remarked that class procedures (etc.) had not been introduced yet as of Delphi 7. If this is the case (I don't really remember...), simply remove all this syntactic sugar:
var
frm: TForm;
lbl: TLabel;
edt: TEdit;
btnOK,
btnCancel: TButton;
shp: TShape;
FMin, FMax: integer;
FTitle, FText: string;
procedure SetupDialog;
begin
frm.Caption := FTitle;
frm.Width := 512;
frm.Position := poOwnerFormCenter;
frm.BorderStyle := bsDialog;
lbl := TLabel.Create(frm);
lbl.Parent := frm;
lbl.Left := 8;
lbl.Top := 8;
lbl.Width := frm.ClientWidth - 16;
lbl.Caption := FText;
edt := TEdit.Create(frm);
edt.Parent := frm;
edt.Top := lbl.Top + lbl.Height + 8;
edt.Left := 8;
edt.Width := frm.ClientWidth - 16;
btnOK := TButton.Create(frm);
btnOK.Parent := frm;
btnOK.Default := true;
btnOK.Caption := 'OK';
btnOK.ModalResult := mrOk;
btnCancel := TButton.Create(frm);
btnCancel.Parent := frm;
btnCancel.Cancel := true;
btnCancel.Caption := 'Cancel';
btnCancel.ModalResult := mrCancel;
btnCancel.Top := edt.Top + edt.Height + 16;
btnCancel.Left := frm.ClientWidth - btnCancel.Width - 8;
btnOK.Top := btnCancel.Top;
btnOK.Left := btnCancel.Left - btnOK.Width - 4;
frm.ClientHeight := btnOK.Top + btnOK.Height + 8;
shp := TShape.Create(frm);
shp.Parent := frm;
shp.Brush.Color := clWhite;
shp.Pen.Style := psClear;
shp.Shape := stRectangle;
shp.Align := alTop;
shp.Height := btnOK.Top - 8;
shp.SendToBack;
end;
function TextInputBox(AOwner: TCustomForm; const ATitle,
AText: string; var Value: string): boolean;
begin
FTitle := ATitle;
FText := AText;
frm := TForm.Create(AOwner);
try
SetupDialog;
edt.NumbersOnly := false;
edt.Text := Value;
result := frm.ShowModal = mrOK;
if result then Value := edt.Text;
finally
frm.Free;
end;
end;
type
TInputValidator = class
procedure ValidateInput(Sender: TObject);
end;
procedure TInputValidator.ValidateInput(Sender: TObject);
var
n: integer;
begin
btnOK.Enabled := TryStrToInt(edt.Text, n) and InRange(n, FMin, FMax);
end;
function NumInputBox(AOwner: TCustomForm; const ATitle,
AText: string; AMin, AMax: integer; var Value: integer): boolean;
var
iv: TInputValidator;
begin
FMin := AMin;
FMax := AMax;
FTitle := ATitle;
FText := AText;
frm := TForm.Create(AOwner);
try
SetupDialog;
edt.Text := IntToStr(value);
iv := TInputValidator.Create;
try
edt.OnChange := iv.ValidateInput;
result := frm.ShowModal = mrOK;
if result then Value := StrToInt(edt.Text);
finally
iv.Free;
end;
finally
frm.Free;
end;
end;
Update 2
I have written a new and much nicer version of the dialog. It now looks exactly like a Task Dialog (I followed Microsoft's guidelines in detail), and it offers many options to transform (e.g., to upper or lower case) and verify (many options) the input. It also adds an Up Down control in case of integer input (need not be natural numbers for that one).
