The editfield is not designed to support 'raw' data. Binary data may 
cause the editfield to do unexpected things. eg On Windows, a null 
character (zero) will terminate the string and so any subsequent 
characters will not be displayed. Data that you pull out might have a 
different encoding than what you put in, and might be different 
binary values as a result.
Over the years there have been a variety of reasons given for 
avoiding trying to put binary data into an editfield. I think you may 
want to rethink your strategy and keep any binary data cached outside 
the editfield and use the editfield only for displaying text 
characters as it was intended.
Happy Holidays,
