My customer wants me to set the input format so that they can enter in basically numeric text strings, like height (5’10”) and weight (146 lbs) as well as social security numbers and other fields that are primarily numeric.
The idea would be to display the number pad for input or start the input in number mode instead of letter input mode.
Are there examples or suggestions for making this happen?
If you set the “Type” property of a TextField in M1 to “Number”, it will cause the number keypad to show by default for user input.
If all the entry fields and data types are known, I would suggest only having the users input numbers and then you can programmatically add the remaining alpha characters (if necessary). For example, use 3 textfields for the social security number and just add the dashes between the numbers, and use textfields for height input, etc. This would make the input easier plus reduce the chance for typos.
