Subject: Custom Keyboard From: "Jefferson Samuel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2004 10:51:48 +0530
I want to create a custom keyboard (with numeric & character buttons) in the top of my form. Relevant values displayed in controls, and when they are pressed my event handler will append the value to the current text in the focused field.
Question: 1. I am not able to create squared graphic buttons. I want the controls to be very similar to those in the palm system keyboard. What is the UI object used in system keyboard? are they Gadgets??
2. How to create a graphic button with squared edges? I created a graphic button of Width - 18 & Height - 18 Bitmap Resource - Width - 16 & Height - 16 Frame property - selected. Non-bold Frame - not selected.
I see the graphic button with round edges.. it doesn't look like a square button.
If you are creating graphic buttons, then I suggest you set the button as border-less, and draw the border yourself within your graphic. This means you can create shading and shadow for a 3D effect.
But if you want a square border on a button, there's a Glue function for that specific purpose.
