I was wondering if it was at all possible to disable the alpha lock feature using BASIC programming when asking for an input using the request function within a dialog box. The default is on and I want the input to be numeric.

Thanks!

the only way i know to do this would be to add an additional argument to the end of the request.

here is what i mean:

you code probably follows this generalization:

Code:

Dialog
 title "something"
 request "a", a
EndDlog


the default is to keep the alpha lock on but if you add the additional argument to the end it will turn it off, but only for that request

here is what you need to do:

Code:

Dialog
 title "something"
 request "a",a,0
EndDlog


adding the zero on the end turns it off. this can be found on page 240 of the TI-89 Manual under "Request"

i have done this to my code as well, it works
