I've done it all in one form handler. What I do is to put together
a form with one field on the top, and then put together a number of
push buttons (with the same control group, and each labeled by it's
key...I usually make it resemble a qwerty layout to keep it simple...
obviously you'd need to make several if you want to support different
language fonts, like Arabic/Hebrew/Kanji/etc.). Then in my event
handler, I have each button respond to a push event like so:
if( event->data.ctlEnter.controlID == PwEntryOnePushButton )
{
StrCat( InternalNumber, "1" ); // Store the actual value
StrCat( Echo, "*" ); // Add another placeholder to the
// echo out string
SetFieldTextFromStr( OutputOut1Field, Echo ); // Echo out the string
// using the nifty
// string output functions
// from the manual.
}
And so on with each key. Obviously, if you do a backspace, you have to
check to see if the string is empty, etc. It's not too hard, but it is
a bit tedious. Still, it's really user friendly.
Echo is the string that holds the echoed string, InternalNumber is the
number that the person is actually entering, etc. Fairly straightforward.
