How do I allow decimals in a textbox type "number"?

Hi,

I want to allow decimal or double numbers in a textbox.

I set the type to "Number", but only integer are allowed.

Is there a way to allow decimals (0.00) or double / float?

Thanks a lot

Try: round(N * 100) / 100

for 2decimal places, or 1000 for 3 decimal places, etc...

Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I want to achive. I want to allow the decimal input in a "TextBox" object when set to "Number".

From sratch it does only allow interger.

Do you mean float(x)?

"Convert the integer or text x to a float (fractional number)."

One idea that comes to mind is to let the text box be normal and under a “text changed” condition you can check what was typed and limit it to numbers or numbers with decimals. Actually you could use float() with this too.

textbox: on text changed
compare: len(textbox.text)>0
— textbox: set text to float(self.text)

Hi,

thanks for that hint. This could be a way.

But I do not understand why the "Number" type does not support it from scratch?

It's html, shouldn't be a big deal at all?

Thanks a lot!

There's always the feature request page if something is lacking.

From what I’ve briefly found looking at html5, I’d probably do it the same as with my solution. Is there a built in way to restrict to only numbers? Maybe, but it’s simpler to just do myself. It gives the ability to restrict the input to anything I’d desire.

Personally the “why” doesn’t interest me a lot. It could be an intentional design choice, or maybe oversight.

I don’t think anyone here wants to make a feature request.

Maybe you might want to ask for this as a feature request.
