Problem with Editable Fields

[Lynch, Jonathan]

You can also try this in the "done" button:

On MouseUp
  Send DoThisScript to me in 0 seconds
End MouseUp

Then put the original mouseup script into a DoThisScript handler in the button. This will ensure that the script runs after other handlers.

However, it seems odd that mouseup would be occuring before closefield. Is it possible that your "done" button is non-focusing? This would mean that when you press the button, the focus never leaves the field you were in, thus not sending a closefield message. If this is the case, you need to make sure your button is focusable.

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.
