<br>
I can do that, if there is no other solution. But making the TextField static
would already be an (unwanted) feedback.</span> <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><br>
<br>
> Or give it a property called correct and once that is true don’t add<br>

<br>
I can do that, but I have to reset this property, if the user changes his mind
and thus changes the content of the gap. How can I detect this?</span> <span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'><br>

style='font-family:"Courier New"'><br>
<br>
I think the xwd side of things is OK (so I can set the property to disable the
feedback and can get the value in Xerte).</span> <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><br>
