NumberField Control

NumberField is a subclass of EditField that allows the user to only type numbers. To use it, import the NumberField.rbo control into your project and then drag it to a window (you’ll find it in the Project Controls section of the control list). There is only one property, which you can modify in the IDE Property Editor or in code:

AllowDecimals As Boolean: Set to True (or check in the IDE) to allow decimal numbers to be entered.  Otherwise only integers can be entered.

This is a simple control, but I’ve found it useful from time-to-time.

Convert Microsoft BASIC Format Real Numbers to IEEE Format

A fellow REALbasic developer, Roger Oren, was kind enough to share this code to the REALbasic community. This code is a REALbasic module that converts the Microsoft BASIC Format real numbers into IEEE format real numbers (and back). It runs on all platforms.
