About NewEntryField
NewEntryField class inherits its behavior, styles
and notification codes from WC_ENTRYFIELD class
and enables to customize some aspects of Entry
Field appearance and behavior. The following is
the brief description of NewEntryField distinct
features:
* NewEntryField allows to restrict the characters
that can be entered in the field. This can be
done in two different ways: by declaring a
NewEntryField type or by defining a picture.
Integer, decimal, hexadecimal, boolean, binary,
alpha and alphanumeric types are available.
When the picture string is used, it allows to
define characters that can be entered in the
certain field position along with formatted char-
acters that appear literally in the field contents
and can't be removed during the field editing.
* NewEntryField simplifies the field contents vali-
dation logic by providing special notification
message

setting the field contents that does not comply
with the field type or picture.
* NewEntryField can translate all key strokes to
upper or lower case, allows automatically set
overtype mode when the field is selected.
* NewEntryField provides a new type of visual
cue: a colored rectangle box can be drawn
around the field. This can be used to direct an
operator's attention to a particular field or to
emphasize the field contents. NewEntryField has
a build-in logic that can turn this box on or off
(as desired) when the field is selected.
* NewEntryField allows automatically change the
field background color when it is selected

allows to discard all changes made since the
