Position of cursor in entry field
March 28, 2008 12:00 AM
In creating a simulation, I am running into a slight problem.What I am attempting to duplicate is when a user tabs into a currency field. The default text for the field is "$0.00".The problem is that when you tab into that space, the cursor is just before the decimal point. The cents area will always be "00". When the user types in a number, it keeps the cursor in that position.For example, I'll use the pipe character to represent the cursor. When the user tabs into that field and types in "10000), it looks like this:$0|.00$1|.00$10|.00$100|.00$1,000|.00$10,000|.00I'm not sure how to best portray this unorthodox behavior. I'm thinking I may just have to have the ".00" portion be a static image or text box while the user types in everything to the left of the decimal point. I haven't found a way to set up an entry field with no borders. If I could, that would help replicate the look of the form. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to best portray this? It is certainly unusual.Kevin
