Right, you seem to have an idea how to do this yourself. You don't need
to worry about editing the characters in the middle of the field,
because the user won't be able to see what they are anyway, so maybe you

I'm trying to show the virtual keyboard of Palm, but until I put a field and

It is a keyboard event, but you have to look for it in the main application
loop, before calling SysHandleEvent(), which decodes it and does not pass it
to your form handler.
The respective codes are in the H file, I don't remember them now, but I am
sure you'll easily find them if you search for

Where exactly is your problem? I implemented a
numeric keypad (not an entire keyboard) a while
ago, and simply used buttons.
Please help me with my virtual keyboard!!! I have a form (Main) with one

Putting up dialogs when the user has entered invalid data is tricky on the
Palm. Remember that the user doesn't have to exit your application in order
to turn the device off. So, the user may just leave your app running, with
invalid data entered in a field (possibly entered via the keyboard dialo
again (Unfiled).

be to allow anything to be entered, and deal with invalid data in a way that doesn't
involve popping up dialogs."
Which context do you mean? I can still have access to the user input after the virtual

While the virtual keyboard is up, it's running it's own event loop and

traps (hackmaster), I think you're out of luck. You can find out when the
dialog is closed an the text is put into the original fi

Question 2.
When the virtual keyboard is enabled, is there a way to capture the user input? Which
events are handled when a user uses the virtual keyboard? Advice neede as well.

P.S. Happy Mother's Day!!!
The virtual keyboard dialog runs its own event loop, so your application's
event loop won't see those events. What it will see is a fldChangedEvent
used to get the field to react to the change in it's text made by the
keyboard dialog when it is closed. Note that this means it'

That's exactly how it works:
The virtual keyboard on a Palm device doesn't seem to raise a keyDownEvent
when characters are entered from it. Is there any way to see if a "key" is
pressed on the keyboard? Thanks!
