I could never find an answer to this, so I worked around it. Goes something
like this:
case EditPaste: // Work around for Palm "pasting to numeric" field bug
{
FieldAttrType attr;
FieldPtr fldP = getFocusField(frmP);
if(fldP) {
FldGetAttributes (fldP, &attr);
if (attr.numeric) {
if (isValidNumericClipboardText()) {
attr.numeric = false;
FldSetAttributes (fldP, &attr);
FldPaste(fldP);
attr.numeric = true;
FldSetAttributes (fldP, &attr);
FldSetDirty(fldP, true);
}
else {
FrmCustomAlert(InfoAlert, "Invalid Paste: Require a positive
numeric value.",
EMPTY_STR, EMPTY_STR);
}
handled = true;
}
}
}
break;
