If I use "0123456789" for my Filterfieldtext, UCCNC still allows a decimal point ".", but appears to block everything else.
I need it to only allow integers.

Does it matter if it's used for port and pin numbers?

Not if you use Getfielddouble()?
I should have checked before, so I don't have to change about 300 right now.
It shouldn't be an issue, but I don't want someone entering 3.7 for a pin number.

Actually, every fields Objecttype is "textfield".

UpDown is a type, just like fieldnb and textfieldnb. They are all textfields.

So, I'm duplicating an UpDown, and originally used fieldnb. Let me plugin my breakout board and make sure textfieldnb works fine.

Gerry,

For the Textfilter to work you have to set the type property of the Textfield to textfield or textfieldnb.
These 2 types are to contain text, all other types are ment to be numeric types, so all other types can contain numbers only and so the textfilter does not work on them.
So, you will have to set the Textfield to one of the types which are made to contain text and then add the filter value of 0123456789 if you want to allow only these values and then it will not accept the . character.
