Talk about discrimination. Negative numbers should have the same rights as positive numbers! This is an item brought to Palm's attention a couple of OS revisions ago and still hasn't been fixed...
I got around it by adding a button to toggle the number between negative and positive. I also looked into parsing the keys as entered by the user but this fails when using the built-in keyboard. You could add a second field for the exponent. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edgar Schroeder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 5:15 PM Subject: Fields for scientific notation input? > Hi, > Does anyone know if there are snippets of code or custom controls to handle > numeric input to a field that would allow negative numbers and scientific > notation? > -x.xxxxxe-xx > > Thanks, > Ed Schroeder > > > > -- > For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/ > -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
