I have a TGridColumn linked to a numeric field and the user is allowed to edit it. The field has a BeforeSave event that displays an error message if the entry is not numeric.

If the user enters a letter instead, EWB displays a runtime error that the entry is not a floating number and my event is not handled.

How do I ensure that entry errors are always handled by my event?

Additionally, after I acknowledge EWB's runtime error dialogue box and change the entry to a numeric value, moving the cursor up or down the grid row causes the cell to not be selected in full. How do I select the entire cell content as per attached image?

I would use this event instead for the dataset column:

This appears to simply be an artifact of the way that the browser(s) are behaving, so I don't think I can do anything to change it.  I've tried several different ways of forcing the browser to select the contents of the edit control, but nothing seems to be working.
