    A C function (called on the "activate" (?... not sure) signal) 
    should do the trick - but a widget should be nice too :)

    I think this is not a big project. The main problem is to 
    design the validator object. Of course, if you have the 
    possiblity to get a lot from the Borland code, this should
    be simpler.
