Formatting <rich:inputNumberSpinner/>

[alanhay]

I have some spinners being used to select hours and minutes and would like to format the output to be in the DecimalFormat "00".

I have attached a converter so that the output is displayed in the correct format when the form loads, viz. 8 is initialised to "08". However when the Spinner value is changed, the output in the textfield is no longer output in the correct format. I would kind of expect this to be the case and would assume that that I need to add some client side JS to catch events and format the output accordingly.

I would expect this to be relatively straightforward but while I can detect the event and call some JS function,  I cannot work out how I get a handle on the text field and the value when an event fires.

Anyone help?

Thanks.

                        value="#{strategyWindowController.window.timeRange.startMinute}"
                        minValue="0" maxValue="59" inputSize="1"
                        inputStyle="text-align:right;" style="padding-left:2px;"
                        enableManualInput="false" step="10">
                        <f:convertNumber pattern="00" />
                    </rich:inputNumberSpinner>

Thanks Ilya.

Works okay. Not very smooth as you can see the change from "8" > "08" but will do for now.
