In searching for a similar solution myself, I've come across three
possibilities:
1) Roll your own keyboard, as others have mentioned.
2) Overlay a decimal button onto the keyboard, like this:

* - I have no idea if this uses "legal" methods
3) For currency, you can make your text field add the decimal for the
user automatically, like this:

#3 is covering my needs at the moment, and I believe is the easiest of
the three options, provided it can be used for your situation.
I'm hoping that OS 3.0 adds a new built-in keyboard option.

Hi,
I was a little bit surprised because the default number pad doesn't
contains a dot.
I've created an application and the user need to enter decimal
numbers.
The default number pad is: http://h4xr.org/ifm4 (see
UITextInputTraits Protocol Reference)
There is an empty space at the left-bottom but I can't find anywhere
how I can get a number pad that contains a dot. I can't believe that
Apple hasn't a number pad that support decimal numbers. This is
something basic, isn't?
What is the best way to get a dot on the number pad?
Jelle,
