Complex RegEx do not work in SfMaskedEdit

[Martin]

Hi,

is the complexity of RegEx masks for the SfMaskedEdit restricted in some way? I've noticed that I had problems with some expresions for e-mail or phone validation. I now wanted to create an input for datetime and wanted to use a RegEx mask that would already restrict the input to valid datetimes. The expression works in several online testtools i found, based on javascript and on .net, but using it in the SfMaskedEdit leads to some symbols being shown in the entry and the app crashing as soon as I write something in it.

^(?=\d)(?:(?:31(?!.(?:0?[2469]|11))|(?:30|29)(?!.0?2)|29(?=.0?2.(?:(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00)))(?:\x20|$))|(?:2[0-8]|1\d|0?[1-9]))([-./])(?:1[012]|0?[1-9])\1(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d\d(?:(?=\x20\d)\x20|$))?(((0?[1-9]|1[012])(:[0-5]\d){0,2}(\x20[AP]M))|([01]\d|2[0-3])(:[0-5]\d){1,2})?$

Hello Vignesh,

I had a look into the documentation before, but I interpreted it more like a guideline than a restriction. It might help to mention the restriction to those specific mask characters in the documentation. Now that I know about it, i can adjust my code accordingly.

Thanks

Martin
