Anyone know how you make the keyboard visible ready for code input from simpl?
The requirement is 4 Save Preset buttons.
When pressed - pop up the keyboard with a text entry field so the user can enter a preset name.
Enter (join 152) Saves
Esc (join 153) cancel
Thanks

If you draw a TexEntry object in VTPro on the screen, there is a check box that shows "Launch Keyboard". As far as I know though that always launches on the Crestron App ( it states that in the context help when you highlight the setting ). I believe you can assign the "Set Focus On Digital Join" and pulse that signal on the touchpanel symbol to force focus to the TextEntry and that should display the keyboard. If you don't want to use the TextEntry field you would need to create your own keyboard on the UI and handle the key presses in Simpl.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the response.?

I'm already using the text entry field to enable the user to enter some coordinates. I'd thought about putting a text entry over each preset button to invoke the keyboard.

Was hoping there was a more elegant solution :)

Cheers

You can do it all from a single TextEntry. Create a subpage with the TextEntry, when you press the preset show the subpage and pulse the join # you assigned to the "Set Focus On Digital Join" on the TextEntry. I believe this would then display the keyboard since it is forcing focus on the TextEntry. You'll also want to make sure to put the TextEntry field high enough up on the subpage so that when the keyboard displays you can still see it. Then just route the text from the TextEntry to the appropriate place for the preset name.

I sometimes use a long-press of a button to allow changing its text. Then a subpage pops up, which has the text entry box on it (high enough so it's out of the way of the keyboard), along with SAVE and CANCEL buttons. I have some notes from when I was testing all this - I'll see if I can dig them up...

Yep - here they are. There's a whole section on making TEXT ENTRY work. It's not specific to the iPad, but should work there too.
