I've programmed in all the logic that can accept scientific notation as well as multiple +/- signs (in the case of -1.0d-1). I can even use /tracking_events to tell if the user enters only '-' then moves the mouse off the widget. But, what I can't do is tell if a user tabs onto the widget, then enters only '-', then tabs off. In which case, the code will obtain '-' as the entry and process it as valid. Of course, I can disable tabs with TAB_MODE=0, but that seems tantamount to solving a headache by lobotomy. Does anyone have any great ideas?

Sheesh.... It always goes this way with me. I kludged this together by using /kbrd_focus_events and in the event handler processed the "enter" tag. So, I test if it's a valid entry only when event.enter eq 0. That will work nicely for my problem, but I'd still like tabbing to issue an event!
