Title: Touchscreen buttons
Post by: dischn2 on March 23, 2010, 05:18:17 PM

Hi,

I just want to create a touchscreen set where I want to use buttons as a simple keyboard. I will have the numbers 0...9, the letters G, M, F, S, X, Z, I, K +/- . and Enter. So I think I don´t need an on screen keyboard nore a external keyboard.

I tried to use sendkeys "char" but the DROs and the MDI are just shortly flashing with the correct character and than they appear with no change.

Could you please help me with the code?

Thanks
Dirk

@TPS

thank you for the script. Can it be used to do MDI Inputs?

not directly, you have to add some more Buttons (G,F,and so on) and modify the code

Code: [Select]

SetOEMDro(DRONum,CDbl(Dlg1.FText))
   

to

Code: [Select]

Code Dlg1.FText

it should do something simular.
