I have just rediscovered BB4W after a lapse of about 10 years. I am sure I will have many questions because memory is poor.

But first, how do I enter a negative value in a numeric edit box?

If you specify the ES_NUMERIC you can only enter DIGITS into the edit box, so it will not accept signed negative numbers a user types in. You can put them there with SETDLGINT where the last parameter is a boolean signed/not signed.

The other way is to not specify ES_NUMERIC and use a noraml text box and poll what the user is entering yourself in a loop..only allowing him/her to enter the digits 0-9 and a - sign.

I hope this is valid advice!
