Input scope and Validation

[Ofer Gal]

Why doesn't Input scope work in Infopath?
I use IS_DIGITS and the user can enter whatever.

Also I tryed validation and it did did not work.
With a validation event I used Regex.IsMatch and it worked in windows, but
when the form was published in SharePoint, it was disregarded.

How do you make a SSN field digits only?
Making the field integer, is not the answer because leading zeros are earased.

Have you got the "Recognize non-matching input" checkbox selected?

Are you doing this in code? If so, please post your code. The Data
Validation option in the GUI allows you to insert a custom REGEX pattern
without coding.

Also, are you publishing a web-enabled form? In that case, you can't use
managed code.

Right-click text box, select Properties.
Select Data Validation
If field1 matches pattern [select a pattern] -> select Social Security
number. Note that you have to type in the dashes as well, which is awkward.
