Hello All,
I am working on a program and I want to have the user be able to enter
numbers into an editable text field using an onscreen keyboard or using
graffiti. The graffiti part works just fine but I cann't get my keyboard to
work. Code is as follows:
//from mainfrom event loop
Char* theDigit;
FieldPtr fieldPtr;
case ctlSelectEvent:
switch (eventP->data.ctlSelect.controlID)
{
case (MainOneButton):
theDigit = "1";
break;
case (MainTwoButton):
theDigit = "2";
break;
//code removed here to shorten post....
fieldP = GetFocusObjectPtr(); //gets field with the focus
appendCharToField (fieldP, theDigit);
//more code removed
//code to insert theDigit into the text field
static void appendCharToField (FieldPtr fieldP, Char* theDigit)
{
FldInsert (fieldP, theDigit, 1);
}
Everything compiles fine but when I tap keyboard buttons, nothing happens.
Nothing is inserted into the field. What am I doing wrong here. Should I not
be using FldInsert() to do this? I thought it would be easier than getting
the text out of the field, then altering it and placing it back into the
field.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
