Hi Nick,

After reading this message I downloaded the class from #9395 and found that items 2 and 3 below don't mean anything (using observations from the sample form that is included with the zip).

Perhaps you are not the individual to address the following, however, here goes...

Re. 2) Yes you can position the cursor within the box, but, so what? No matter what I type next, it gets added to the right. How can I insert a digit, say between the left two digits? For example, if the value is 13.4 and I need to change it to 123.4, how can I insert a 2?

Re. 3) Yes you can select the whole value with the mouse and delete it, but, the whole value can be deleted without selecting anything at all. My problem is, how can I delete an individual digit, say the second from the left without deleting the entire value? For example, if the value is 123.4 and I need to change it to 13.4, how can I delete the 2?

I suppose one can argue that the control is behaving like a calculator or adding machine, but, for data editing, I can't see anyway to do so except to retype the entire value. Am I missing some property settings to make this control behave like I would like it to?


Regards,

Mike
