There is a strange problem I’ve come across, but easily worked around. I had the need to capture currency values, some of which could be negative. There is a control in the Extension Library, the Dojo Currency Text Box, but I chose to use the Edit Box control with a number converter. But I wanted

Yesterday evening I got involved in an XPages conversation. It started with this tweet from Chris Toohey: Dr Marky Roden then brought me into the conversation, just as I looked on Twitter! A bit of a conversation then ensued, which is shown below. As I said, I needed to do more investigation on all
