While the virtual keyboard is up, it's running it's own event loop and
putting the text entered into its own field. Unless you're willing to patch
traps (hackmaster), I think you're out of luck. You can find out when the
dialog is closed an the text is put into the original field. My advice would
be to allow anything to be entered, and deal with invalid data in a way that
doesn't involve popping up dialogs.
