EditBox for numbers?

Hi there,

is there a way to enable an editbox only for numbers?

I cant find a lot about "textType".

My sources:
https://wiki.esoui.com/UI_XML#EditBox

Thanks!

Use the forum search please:
https://www.esoui.com/forums/showthr...T_TYPE_NUMERIC

Another source would be e.g.
LibAddonMenu-2.0 -> controls -> edit widget
There is a setting to enable only numeric and I think it's a standard ZOs part of the editbox.

Code:
textType = TEXT_TYPE_NUMERIC
TextTypes can be found in the ESOUIDocumentation_Pxx.txt file at teh API versions:
https://wiki.esoui.com/APIVersion#live_API_version
-> Link "API TXT Documentation:"

If you search within the ESOUI source code then for the texttype constants you will find examples in ZOS code.

Hi there,

I did search the forum and the wiki and did not find anything specific about the texttype. The according page in the wiki "EditBox" "textType" did not exist. The forum posting about editbox are useless and in parts wrong.

I created the posting for other people to find better results with the same question. There are so many locations to search for everything and find nothing. I allways do this for some hours and after this i create a posting.

btw. joined gitter, thx for hint

From the link I had found via the forum search, 3rd comment by merlight:

I do not see any wrong information here

And to ease the searches I have provided you the gitter chat, just come there and ask and we are glad to help.
btw: You are also able to change the wiki so add the info as example at the right to the tutorials or the howtos.
I've prepared a new entry for you, feel free to add the editbox XML stuff you found out that works etc.
