Question:
I want to use CContactNumberField but can't see how to create one or to get a pointer to its data. There is no KStorageTypeNumber I can pass to the constructor. Also the documentation says that the NumberStorage() method used to get a pointer to the number data panics. How am I supposed to store numbers in Contacts?

Answer:
CContactNumberField is not supported at present. It was put there as a placeholder for a possible future implementation which has not occurred. Instead, numbers should be stored as strings using the CContactTextField type.
