Here is the custom component that I made. I added validation to it for
simplicity. Should I ID all the validators and store them somewhere
for easy access later?
{
import mx.controls.TextInput;
import mx.validators.NumberValidator;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
public class HourTextInput extends TextInput
{
public function HourTextInput()
{
addEventListener(FlexEvent.INITIALIZE,
initializeHandler);
}
private function initializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
// Display the component
paint();
}
private function paint():void
{
var hourValidator:NumberValidator;
hourValidator = new NumberValidator();
hourValidator.allowNegative=false;
hourValidator.maxValue = 24;
hourValidator.precision = 1;
hourValidator.property= "text";
hourValidator.source = this;
hourValidator.precisionError = "You can only enter
hours to the
tenth of an hour";
hourValidator.required = false;
}
}
}
