TGNumberEntryField kNESHex does not go beyond 0x8000 0000

ROOT
1

I need an 8 bytes long hexadecimal integer and the format - unsigned long just about
fits the answer to my needs.
I am creating a TGNumberEntryField in my code as follows :
pointer1 = new TGNumberEntryField (Column[i], i,(ULong_t) 0x0U,
TGNumberFormat::kNESHex, TGNumberFormat::kNEANonNegative,
TGNumberFormat::kNELLimitMinMax ,0, 4294967295);

The number entry field is created but the values do not go beyond : 80000000
and I need it to go upto : FFFFFFFF .
I CANNOT FIGURE OUT IF IT IS A BUG OR A LIMITATION OF THE ROOT WIDGET.
KINDLY HELP. THANKS.

Hi,

It works on 64bit machines. On 32 bit ones, you can simply use:

Hi Bertrand,
I tried as per your answer , but it still did not work, which made me inspect my code more thoroughly and I found that the variable handling the number is defined as long , I immediately changed it to ULong_t
and now the code works… yes it works with my original code also.
So stupid of me to overlook this error.
Thank you Bertrand, you made me find the bug.
Cheers, Abraham
