Hi all, An application I'm creating has a need to obtain IP address information fro= m a user. I'd like to be able to setup to screen to look similar to the windows tcp/ip properties panel. The ip address text boxes on that screen are different in that they seem to have embedded .'s. Is there already a base control for this or some way to alter the attributes for the textbox control to behave this way? Brian |

The standard IP Address control is not implemented in Win32::GUI - it's on the TODO list. You might be able to do something clever with a single line Textfield, and catching all keystrokes, but it's probably quite hard. Your best bet might be to have have 4 text boxes, separated with labels showing '.'. I'm sure others will be able to make more helpful suggestions. Regards, Rob. |

Hi Robert, Thanks for the reply. I'll head down the avenue of simple in this case :-). How far along (if at all) is the IP Address control? I wouldn't mind playing around with whatever you have.

Hi Rob, If you want it to move up my priority list, then raise a feature request > through the sourceforge site. Done ... tracker number 1480738. Now .... how can I help :-) Brian |

Hi Rob, Thanks for all your hard work. I'll take a look at things and see what I can come up with.
