Tim,

we discussed this earlier:

<<
Since there are a lot of numbers to be entered, it would be great, if
the software keyboard of the mobile phone would switch to numbers.
In HTML I can use
<input type="number" name="test" id="test" />
Is there a way to achieve the same with EWB (eventually by editing the js
code)? >>

Your answer was:

<< I've got a similar request for this already, so I'm going to look
into adding some editing types to the TEdit control for next build. >>
<<Yes, I'm going to include it in the next build.  It's just a matter of
changing how the edit element is created. >>

Since I don't see such a property: is that already implemented?

Thanks Uli

I too would like this, or a way to add such even if manually.

Uli,

No, it got cut from 1.02 due to time.  It's on the list for the next round
along with other mobile improvements.

Matthew,

this is the code Tim gave me:

<<
You can add a component for this
by sub-classing the TCustomEdit component in the WebCtrls unit:

type

   TNumberEdit = class(TCustomEdit)
      protected
         function CreateInputElement: THTMLInputElement; override;
      end;

implementation

function TNumberEdit.CreateInputElement: THTMLInputElement;
begin
   Result:=THTMLInputElement(CreateHTMLElement('input'));
   Result.type:='number';
end;

And you can create the edit control at runtime like this:

procedure TForm1.Button11Click(Sender: TObject);
var
   TempEdit: TNumberEdit;
begin
   TempEdit:=TNumberEdit.Create(Panel1);
   TempEdit.Top:=160;
   TempEdit.Left:=184;
   TempEdit.Height:=24;
   TempEdit.Width:=121;
end;

Be forewarned, the above probably won't work on some versions of IE, but
since you're doing a mobile site, that should be less of a concern.

Thanks - another message to mark as a todo!
