[Springframework-rcp-dev] Question about BigDecimalTextField

[Benoit X. <bx...@ob...>]

Hi All,

 

Before submitting a patch, I thought I'd discuss it with the community.

 

We would like to be able to add shortcuts, like "3m" meaning 3 millions, 2k
= 2,000. Typically a shortcut for hundred, thousand, millions, billions (for
SocGen J ).

Unfortunately, BigDecimalTextField is explicitly instantiated in several
places, making it impossible to extend.

 

We have a patch that works fine for us but it is a bit tricky and may not
work internationally. the shortcut may vary from one language to the other.

 

What would be the best approach?  I was thinking that one could define some
keys to be included in the messages.properties eg:

BigDecimalTextField.shortcut.hundred=h

BigDecimalTextField.shortcut.thousand=k

.

 

And therefore introducing some i18n.

 

Jan, would you consider this approach if we were to send a patch? If not,
how would you like to extend the BigDecimalTextField to provide such
functionality?

We'd like to help

 

Thanks a lot

 

Benoit
