in reply to "Cast" a wxString to Numeric?

Sounds like you want to use a Wx::SpinCtrl/Wx::SpinCtrlDouble and not a Wx::TextCtrl

wxperl_demo --show wxSpinCtrl

Perl doesn't have wxString :)

    Thanks, I'll give it a look. The response from Corion showed me that the warning message was telling me something different than I had assumed. Yes, wxString is from the wxWidgets docs.

      To close the loop, wxSpinCtrl was the better solution as it eliminates the possibility of a divide by zero caused by an empty/completely erased field.
