    Es_number

    In my text box i want the user to be able to enter in something like 1.2 or -1.5 but no letters. Is there something to allow me to do that because ES_NUMBER only lets the user enter in numerals.

    I'm not familiar with ES_NUMBER - what language are you using? If I knew the language I could probably write you more specific code. Maybe this could help:

    If you could find a way to recieve each character either before or as soon as it is added to the text box, you could check it. Maybe do a series of if statements (keeping this as language-unspecific as possible) to find out if it is a valid character, like a number, a . or a - (or you may decide to allow , also). If it is, just proceed as normal. If it isn't either block it from going into the text box or if it's already there, remove, and then read the next character.
