Select 123,456.78 with double click

Is there a mechanism to have a numeric string, like '123,456.78', fully selected when double-clicked on a input field?

It's a user request for our in-house application. I imagine it would be a common requirement for any app that displays numbers.

Right now, if the text is double clicked the digits between any of the non-numeric characters is selected. So, if the cursor is on the '5', the text selected would be '456'.

Thanks for any help,

Bob Nemec

A common behaviour of Windows applications to select the whole contents on a triple-click. Not present in VisualWorks neither, yet maybe easier to implement?

Also, you can select whole field by double-clicking on the empty space to the immediate right or left of its contents, wouldn’t that suggestion work for users?
