Decimal value in Form

[spaceman76]

Dear All,

It's possible to insert a decimal value in Form. I can insert only number or text to simulate a decimal value.
This is APi documentation.
Form([fields=field_list, flags=flag])
field_list consists of tuples: ( label, type [,value] ) , where
o label is a Unicode string,
o type is one of the following strings: 'text', 'number', 'date', 'time', 'combo', and
o value, depending on type: Unicode string, numeric, float (seconds since Unix epoch
rounded down to the nearest local midnight), float (seconds since local midnight) or
([unicode_string choices], index)

Can anyone help me ?

Thank you

Sorry but it's urgent. Nobody have the same problem ?
In which mode you can insert flot or double values into Form ?

Use 'text' . When the form is open press the "pencil" key
to switch between number and text modus. This is good enough. Convert the returned string to float.
There should be a float modus though, I agree.

It's a good idea but it's not pratic way to use decimal value.
I think in 1.2 version this issue should be implemented.

Thank you

I need to implemtent a little expense manager with python but i need float imput.

Now we have this:
input query(label, type [,initial_value])
o 'text'
o 'code'
o 'number'
o 'date'
o 'time'
o 'query'

In next version we will find CAknFloatingPointQueryDialog
used for floating point input.

Please Member, reply this.

Your wish has been noted. The wishlist is quite long, but we'll see what we can do.

Thank you

The wish for decimal values in Query (and Form)
is still urgent or some of us, since we are using float input.
We hope it will come with a future release.
