TouchScreen

David_w

What type of code would allow me to show the numbers I type, to also show up on the touchscreen. I think its some sort of string I should be using. I am trying to get the channel 1-99 on the VCR to be displayed also on the touch screen. I have the button setup on my touchscreen as a text input (is that correct) but I have no ideal how to write the code. Any help would be great as I learn program.

Do you just want the number to show on the panel as it is pressed or to be displayed till another number is inputed?

Just displayed tell another number is pressed. When I hit Enter I would like it to go back to default of being blank.

You could open the keypad popup on the touchpanel. ( SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'@AKB-&lt;initial text>;<prompt text>'" )

This should do what you need. You will have to create a STRING: event for the touchpanel to get the numbers entered tho.

How do I create a string event? I went to programer class about 6 months ago, but I haven't had anytime write code until this week. Now I'm trying to figure it out and it's driving me crazy? Help please......

Just create in your DEFINE_EVENT section something like that:

DATA_EVENT[dvTP] // dvTP is your Touch Panel Device
{
STRING: // it will trigger when you receive a string from touch panel
{
// all texts received from touch panel will be placed in a system variable named DATA.TEXT type CHAR
}
}

Anyone know where to get some good sample code at?
