Problem with Editable Fields

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dave,

May be another approach, more ergonomic, could help you:
Just allow numbers to be typed into your field with a generic handler  
like the following:

on keyDown pKey
   if pKey is an integer and the number of chars of target < 3 then  
pass keyDown
end keyDown

It's only to get you started: you will find you have probably to  
build a rawKeyDown handler to be more precise and manage the current  
selection (if the user selects a portion and wants to type in).

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
