[libreoffice-users] Dialog?

Using LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 if it makes any difference.

I am designing a dialog that will be opened by a macro, accept some data 
and then place the data in the proper cells of a Calc sheet. The data 
will consist of text, numbers and dates. In the dialog design 
environment I see there are text fields, numeric fields and date fields 
available.

Is there any advantage to using the various types of fields other than 
the date field will only accept date formats and the numeric field will 
only accept digits? Will using them possibly keep me from having to 
write conversion routines when putting date data in date formated cells 
or numeric data in numeric formated cells?

Thanks,  Jim
