Colon instead of decimal point?

[Captain_Dingo]

I've started developing an application in C# for smartphones, and I've hit a bit of a snag. I've got a T-Mobile Dash to test on, which should be similar enough to the Q to warrant this question...

I found out how to use InputModeEditor.SetInputMode(textbox, InputMode.Numeric); to force a textbox to only accept numeric characters, but when I press the period key, a colon shows up in the text box. I think I've had this happen in other apps as well.

Does anyone know if this is just the nature of the Q-style devices' keyboards? Is there a workaround that I'm not aware of? I can set up validation on the textbox so only numbers and the period are allowed, and if the colon is pressed it goes in as a period, but that seems a little hokey.

Any suggestions?
