Hi Joe
Thanks for the question. The problem with a text entry box is that it accepts alpha characters. The software I'm simulating just ignores non-numerics - which is what the numeric entry box will do just fine. It's just the display of the '0' default value I would like to get rid of.
Hi Phil
I love the sweet shop challenge - I may use that idea at some point in a quiz. But obviously what I'm trying to do here is mimic as closely as I can the software I'm simulating.
I tried blanking out the field with a mask that disappears when you click it - which got rid of the '0' display on the data entry screen but as soon as the mask disappears the dratted '0' appears. To be honest it's not a major problem and I may just have to accept the simulator is 'close enough' to the software it is pretending to be. I might experiment with changing states - there are some amazing, and unexpected, things you can do with states - this is how I overcame the 'drop-down' menu fields in the simulator.
Thanks again.
