Hello,

The TextField widget takes text - it does not even know that the string 
you put in it is a number. Perhaps you should post some actual code.

Alternatively, you might want to try my Super Widget Package (free at my 
site), which sits on top of GUIKit and makes it much easier to use. The 
SuperWidgetRealBox is a effectively a TextField widget specialised to 
handle real numbers. You can specify the width of the field in 
characters, which may suit your needs.
