Hello,
Here is trap code i use in myformEventHandle:
..........
case keyDownEvent:
if (FldHandleEvent(myField, event))
{
UpdateMyField(); // Update the field with whatever i want.
handled = true; // It's here I say not to handle the event any
more.
}
break;
............
return handled
I also trap a winEnterEvent to make updates if the user enter keys from the
virtual keyboard.
In your case, i don't know how to change behavior of the virtual keyboard
not to show inputs?? (*if someone know, i'm interested in it*) You should
simply forbid access to it, forcing use of graffiti. Conditions to enter
would be knowing the pass AND being graffiti expert :)
