Alphanumeric Keypad
« on: March 16, 2014, 10:26:52 PM »
Do you have a alphanumeric keypad available so I can enter recipe names with a touch screen using the basic label?

There is an alphanumeric keyboard embedded in the solution. The controls such as the BasicLabel haven't been implemented to use it yet. I will get this done in the next release.

I'm not sure if its usable as is in the latest release, but this is where to find the class:

Archie,

I have attempted to use this with no good results. Can you offer any insight on using this?

I had to do some additional work on the alphanumeric keyboard. If I get through my current project this week, I will post an update with the working version this weekend.

I posted a new version that now has a working alphanumeric keyboard. If you set KeypadAlphnumeric to True on the BasicLabel, it will pop up a full keypad.

I have been testing the Alphanumeric keypad. Appears to work except the cancel button doesn't appear to do anything. Is it supposed to close the keypad?

Was definitely a problem. It will be fixed in version 3.67
