Short answer : You can't. Use a non-numeric field, and filter the keydown events.
Long answer: You can use a workaround for this. You could trap the keyDownEvent before the field and write it by hand on the Field, if you wanna to.
You'll have a little work to do on this, but i assure you it works.
PalmOS Advanced Programming book has an example on this.
Otherwise you can create a normal text field and make your system only accepts numbers, signs and dots (or commas) on it. I think it's harder to do.
Cheers !
