Hello,
Try this...
in the event loop
switch (eventP->eType)
{
FieldPtr fieldPtr;
case keyDownEvent:
if (((eventP->data.keyDown.chr >= '0')
&& (eventP->data.keyDown.chr <= '9'))
|| (eventP->data.keyDown.chr == ',')
|| (eventP->data.keyDown.chr == '.'))
{
fieldP = GetFocusObjectPtr(); //gets field with the focus
appendCharToField (fieldP, eventP->data.keyDown.chr);
}
handled = true;
break;
