Specific characters:
For specific character input, you MUST wrap your pattern in brackets []. This is similar to a RegEx pattern.
- [abc123] only allows the characters "abc123".
- [0-9] or [\d] only allows numbers.
- [a-zA-Z0-9] only allows alphanumeric characters.
- [^0-9] allows any character EXCEPT numbers.
Other RegEx patterns are handled as-is but copy/paste is disabled:
- ^[0-9]{1,5}$
Pattern-based:
- For pattern-based input, you MUST use the # character to represent numbers (0-9).
- Segements are created by using one of the following characters:
- space ( )
- dash (-)
- underscore (_)
- forward slash (/)
- period (.)
- Segment characters cannot be used consecutively.
- Each segment must contain at least one # character.
- Segements are created by using one of the following characters:
NOTE: The sdk-textbox also captures and formats text that is pasted in from the clipboard.
