Hi,

Just posted a feature request for textField validation control, if you have a few spare votes to give it a boost

Thanks,

Done! Great idea!!! This would also allow implementation of some other feature suggestions such as numeric fields etc.

#3

Can you not do this in the listener for the text field using the host of string.* functions to check the text?

I would like to be able to stop a character from being entered - so its more of a before edit event. I am also trying your approach of sending back a validated string to the field (like to limit the number of characters), but it produces a flickering and feels a bit unnatural
