In September 2006, a member posted this title: Value with unsigned support [message #5214]
17 years on, I need to ask this question again. To be fair, as a new user, I could simply be missing something basic due to inexperience with U++
On my form I have an EditInt64 control. I would like users to be able to enter any integer up to 2^64-1, i.e, the maximum unsigned 64 bit integer.
However, there appears to be some kind of "mask" which triggers a colour change in the field when anything bigger than a signed 64 bit integer is input. (see pic below). Now, typecasting a signed 64 bit int into an unsigned 64 bit int will of course work but the maximum signed 64 bit int is 2^63-1 and the EditInt64 won't allow anything bigger to be input. Can some kind member please advise how my requirement can be realised.
