BigDecimalField Features

The BigDecimalField bean is a numerical entry field that can edit and display Java BigDecimal numbers. It can:

• format and parse BigDecimal numbers according to the rules of the language and country that are currently set.
• accept a specific locale or use the default.
• scale and round (round half-up or round down) the displayed value.
• fire a property change event when the value changes either by keyboard entry or a setter method.
• accept keyboard input either when the Enter key is pressed or when focus is moved to another field.

The bean does not provide any error events.

• a beep (which can be silenced) is sounded when an invalid character is entered. The character is ignored.
• multiple character entry errors (such as 4-5,,) are caught when the enter key is pressed or focus is lost. The last valid value is then restored.
• all setter method errors are ignored.

A simple BigDecimal property editor is included in the jar.
