Before I reinvent the wheel. Does anyone know of a calculator that works similar to the function in QuickBooks?
@Christian Schmitz I did just buy the MBS plugins. Nothing in there is there?

Nothing that I’m aware of. It would be an interesting project, though.
any documentation on the QuickBook version… I might be tempted to tackle something like that
FYI… it seems that feature in no longer in Quickbooks (at least not the US version anymore)
I know, right? If I didn’t have 50,000 other things on my plate I’d be willing to play around with it too.
I suspect it’s a popup window with a canvas. Popups work differently on Mac and Windows (or at least the last time I looked in detail).
FYI… it was called QuickMath

bored… tempted.
thinking TextEdit with a Listbox (or maybe canvas)
I have started to build one of these…
it will be two controls actually…
The tape control will be placed in your window (anywhere) and set to not visible, there will be a need for only ONE tape control to be shared amongst as many textedit fields as you have.
It will do simple + , - , * and /
ESC will cancel all transactions and leave the original value in the textfield
RETURN/ENTER will commit the transactions to the textfield
“C” will clear the last transaction
so the tape will only accept 0-9, + , - , / , *, RETURN, ENTER, Backspace, Escape and “C” characters
FYI… I have a somewhat working version of this custom control already built… it isn’t “finished” and has a few bugs, but it will be working soon…
I was out all day. Thanks Dave. I will have a look at it when i get back in the morning,
