I am new to Mac interface programming. 

I am using a modeless dialog to prompt user enter some numbers, but I
could not get the caret blinking when a editable item is seleted. Has
anyone have this problem before?

I followed the instruction in the Inside Mac, that is
1) call GetNextEvent;
2) check IsDialogEvent, regardless what value GetNextEvent returned;
3) check keydown and autokey to check if the key is valid key
4) if it is valid, for example, a number keys, then passed to
   DialogSelect().

But the cursor in editText field is not blinking!

Could someone give me a hit, or give me a direction to look for
reference, or other way of handling dialog?

Thanks you very much.
