Thanks Roger
Excellent work, but when I put it with a DCSAY GET it does not work

Here is an OSK sample program.

YES

This example does not work

are you running under 64 Bit ?

[Auge_Ohr]

so you need to disable Redirection to WOW64.

hello Roger
He modifies his example of OSK, and now it is for any DCGET that falls with just a click.
Now I do not understand why when I'm typing the data, for example, NOLBERTO in the Dialog screen, NOLBERTO is shown, but if I look for the data of the Variable that DCGET has, it only has NOLBERT.

Please, tell me how I can fix it

Please, tell me how I can fix it

That code I gave you was very preliminary.
I wanted to see if you had intentions to use it before I invested more time in this.
Now, I can see that you want to use it so I will help you.

You have done some very nice work and I can see that you understand it well.
You made a very simple error. You forgot to assign GETOBJECT oGet2

Code: Select all

@ 06.2,00.0 DCSAY "Get2:"  GET cGet2 PICT "@!k" ;
   KEYBLOCK {|k,b,o| KeySeek( k, o,cGet2 ) } GETOBJECT oGet2

Nice work on using the Handler to reassign ::targetXbp.
It works very well.

I made another change to your code to prevent the keyboard from exiting when clicking "ENTER".

Code: Select all

@ DCGUI_ROW, DCGUI_COL+nSpace DCPUSHBUTTONXP CAPTION 'Enter' SIZE nKeySize*2,nKeySize  ;
   ACTION {||::accum(Chr(xbeK_ENTER),'',GetList)} ;
   ;// DC_ReadGuiEvent(DCGUI_EXIT_ABORT,GetList)} ;
   ;// ACTION {||DC_ReadGuiEvent(DCGUI_EXIT_ABORT,GetList)} ;
   ACCELKEY xbeK_ENTER ;
   OBJECT oCancelButton  CONFIG ::buttonConfig

Thank you

On the other hand, you can send me to my Personal Mail when my subscription expires, to renew it at the end of the year.

I edited my last posting with some more information for you.

Thanks Hise what I indicated and the problem was still happening, but you
add this line ::targetXbp:Keyboard( xbeK_ENTER ) && 22-12-2018 Nolberto Paulino
and problem Solved.

Now Work Great, I'll adapt it to use the Teclaco just like the Phone.

I like the mods you made to the keyboard.
Resizing it made it work better for the KIOSK program.

I also made a few more mods so the ENTER key would automatically move to the next GET.

When a GET receives focus, the background color is changed so the user knows it is the target.

In this application I need to keep the keyboard ALWAYSONTOP so it would not get hidden if touching the form.

Code: Select all

STATIC FUNCTION TouchHandler( nEvent, mp1, mp2, oXbp, oDlg, GetList, oOsk )

LOCAL i, oObj, oParent, aChildList

IF Valtype(oXbp) == 'O' .AND. oXbp:isDerivedFrom('DC_XbpGet')
  IF nEvent == xbeP_SetInputFocus
    oXbp:setColorBG(GRA_CLR_CYAN)
    oXbp:setColorFG(GRA_CLR_DARKRED)
    oOsk:targetXbp := oXbp
    oParent := oOsk:targetXbp:setParent()
    aChildList := oParent:childList()
    FOR i := 1 TO Len(aChildList)
      oObj := aChildList[i]
      IF oObj:isDerivedFrom('DC_XbpGet') .AND. oObj # oXbp
        oObj:setColorBG(GRA_CLR_WHITE)
        oObj:setColorFG(GRA_CLR_BLACK)
      ENDIF
    NEXT
  ENDIF
  IF !oOSK:isVisible()
    oOSK:show()
  ENDIF
ENDIF

RETURN DCGUI_NONE

Code: Select all

METHOD TouchKeyboard:Accum( cKey, cCapsKey )

LOCAL cBuffer, i

IF ::isCapsLock .AND. !Empty(cCapsKey)
  cKey := cCapsKey
ENDIF

::targetXbp:updated := .T.
FOR i := 1 TO Len(cKey)
  ::targetXbp:Keyboard( ASC(cKey[i]) )
NEXT

IF ::targetXbp:isDerivedFrom('DC_XbpGet')
   cBuffer := Transform ( ::targetXbp:Get:Buffer, IIf(::targetXbp:Picture==NIL, "", ::targetXbp:picture) )
   ::targetXbp:Get:_assign( )
   ::targetXbp:SetEditBuffer( cBuffer )
ENDIF

IF Asc(cKey) == xbeK_ENTER
  SetAppFocus(::targetXbp)
  PostAppEvent(xbeP_Keyboard, xbeK_ENTER,,::targetXbp)
ENDIF

Sleep(1)

RETURN nil
