Eric Chatonet gave me this great and short solution to my problem:

---
    you can use a simple keydown handler:


    on keyDown pKey
      if pKey is an integer then pass keyDown
    end keyDown


    This will allow to type numbers only and use the delete key.
    No more :-)

Easy as that! By the way I think that the problem with the capslockkey 
function must be a bug in 2.7 for windows
I've reported it to bugzilla.

Thanks everyone to the response!
