The AlphanumericNumPad seems to have two modes. It starts up in a read-only mode. The read-only mode does not allow pasting of text into the input field when using cut/paste. To get into the mode were the user can paste in text into the input field, the user has to press the "abc" button on the numpad first.

It would be nice if the AlphanumericNumPad could have an option, that could be set in code, so it would start in the "non read-only" mode to allow for paste of text to work without needing to press the "abc" button first.
