I see now that it becomes confusing when capturing.
Has anybody done alterations to fill the get from the right?

This is the only way to make get objects handling numeric vars to align them to the right properly. What I do remember is that the height of the get has to be at lease 13 pixels or it will show nothing under Win 3.x.

As said above, I always create my gets with a size of 13, regardless if they are numerics or not so I don't have to wory on which OS the app may run.
