B4J Question Custom Views - How to specify a default value that has a comma?

[Mashiane]

Hi the

When creating custom views, one can specify a default value. The designer scripts are comma delimited.

#DesignerProperty: Key: EventHeaderFormat, DisplayName: Event Header Format, FieldType: String, DefaultValue: MM d, yyyy, Description: Event Header Format

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks.

My first guess would be to try quotation marks around (at least) the comma-containing field eg:

#DesignerProperty: Key: EventHeaderFormat, DisplayName: Event Header Format, FieldType: String, DefaultValue: "MM d, yyyy", Description: Event Header Format

DefaultValue:'Two, words'

take only:
"Two
or
'Two
