Hi all, I am extending TextField to add edit masks.  I am experiencing a
strange problem with setCaretPosition.	What I am doing is catching a keytype
event and then consuming it.  I then insert the requested character into the
string containing the edit mask and I set the TextFields text to that string.
 Then I set the caret position to increment whatever it was before the
insert.  This works great up until a point.  For a telephone mask in this
form (999)999-9999 it works until I hit caret position 10.  It will not
advance the caret past 10.  If I set it to eleven it jumps back to 10.	Any
ideas what can be causing this?  TIA,

Dave
