Hi,

This may probably be a newbie question.

I am trying to understand how the Input field type is being used. The scenario 
is as follows:

I have a Class having an instance var that should hold on to a Date . 
On my VW Canvas I specify the input type to be Date. 

When I try to enter a invalid date value say 'dfd' in the field
and accept it. I get a "message not understood" on IsLetter in the readFrom: aStream method.

How can I validate the entry in that field  and What does VW intend when it allows you to specify the type as Date field.?
