Virtual Keyboard

Classic Servoy
1

Hi everybody!

we are wondering to use a “Virtual Keyboard” in our solution to allow users typing in a touch screen… Someone knows a bean, plugin, JavaScript or something like that usable in Servoy to do this?

We built a simple numeric keyboard, but we would prefer to use a componente or something like that to use a complete keyboard…

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Gerardo.

I don’t know if usable with servoy but http://debugger.ru/en/projects/virtualkeyboard could be close to what you are looking for.

I don’t know how patrick talbot has integrated tinymce or fckeditor in Servoy but this project could maybe be included using the same kind of integration

It could be integrated in the TinyMCE and FCKEditor of the BrowserSuite distribution if there is any interest in it.
Otherwise you could integrate it inside your own html page, navigate to it using the browser and use the bean scripting to get the result back to Servoy…

Try this.

Nice Roberto, thanks!
I just tested it in the ServoyBrowser and it works fine (although the CSS will probably need a bit of tweaking).

We are going to do some reseach on this…

Hi!

After wondering the options to do this, by now I’m using native OS keyboard to to this:

        var os_name = application.getOSName();
	
	if (utils.stringMiddle(os_name, 1, 7) == "Windows")
	{		
		application.executeProgramInBackground('osk')
	}
	else if (utils.stringMiddle(os_name, 1, 5) == "Linux")
	{
		application.executeProgramInBackground('onboard')		
	}
	else if (utils.stringMiddle(os_name, 1, 6) == "Mac OS")
	{
		// application.executeProgramInBackground('?????????')		
	}

This way, I’m not worried about developing any code to perform this behaviour.

P.S.: I have to investigate which is the command in Mac OS yet…
