Entering Currency as in '1,233.00'

WEB TMS WEB Core

Good day,
Currency input is very important in business applications.

Is there a component that does this?
Go to: https://codepen.io/akalkhair/pen/dyPaozZ

Or, even this which is more robust:
Go to: https://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/Easy-Numbers-Currency-Formatting-Plugin-autoNumeric/

Would be great to have this ability in a built-in component.

TAdvEdit

TAdvEdit is a VCL component that cannot be used in TMS WEB Core.

Closest we have to this at this moment is TWebMaskEdit. 
The 2nd URL didn't work here (404) 
The code of the 1st URL could be used but testing it here proved it to be not so reliable for input, I could easily cause it to enter invalid numbers.

Strange. It 404-ed me as well.


I have converted to a bitly link: https://bit.ly/2U44466

The Demo page is quite comprehensive about the library.

How can TWebEditMask be used? Doesn't it have placeholders which would mean one has to space thru the edit box and be quite specific versus freely entering the value and having the comma appear/disappear accordingly?

TWebMaskEdit is similar in functionality as the VCL TMaskEdit and could permit numeric only entry. Of course, it doesn't perform the currency formatting. If the currency formatting is crucial, the fastest would be to bind the jQuery one into TMS WEB Core.

I'm brand new to actually using TMS WEB Core. Once I get my feet wet I'll definitely work on binding the jQuery one I referred to and share word of my victory or defeat. :)


Thanks.

To quick start such integration, we typically first do start using externals via calling JavaScript directly from an ASM block in the Pascal code and then gradually moving things over / wrapping into Pascal classes.

Is there a step by step guide using a simple example to get one started doing this?
