TextFilter not working?

[bdowling]

Hi All,

I'm trying to configure an edit field where the user can enter an IP address. I thought the IpTextFilter would do the job:

ipField = new BasicEditField( "IP Address: ",
   (String) data.get( Options.KEY_IP_SERVER_ADDRESS ) );

ipField.setMaxSize( 15 );
ipField.setFilter( new IPTextFilter() );
screen.add( ipField );

but it seems the filter has no effect! You can type whatever characters you want into the edit field. Have I missed something?

Thanks, Ben

Do I need to extend a BasicEditField to get what I want, or can it be done with a TextFilter? If so am I using the wrong filter?

TIA, Ben
