Is there a way to have the virtual keyboard come up on a tablet when the
tablet user selects a field on a form that requires data entry?
Bill,
You can certainly bring up the R:BASE On-Screen Keyboard (ROSK) on demand.
Here's the actual PROPERTY command that can be further customized as you
see fit.
PROPERTY ROSK SHOW TRUE
RETURN
Keeping that in mind, you can bring up the ROSK based on Windows logged in
user (CVAL('NetUser')), notebook/tablet name (CVAL('COMPUTER')) or even a
given unique Mac Address of Table PC, such as (GETVAL('GetMACAddr','0')).
Knowing the User, Computer, or Mac Address, you can customize to bring up
the ROSK when a FOCUS is set to any VAR/DB Edit control as "On-Entry EEP".
To further customize the ROSK, refer to R:Docs 9.5:
Start R:Docs 9.5
. Category: R:BASE On-Screen Keyboard (ROSK)
. Control.: R:BASE On-Screen Keyboard
. Property: Select from a list of all supported properties
Feel free to reach out to me if you need a sample code to illustrate the
use of such cool feature in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 or R:BASE X (Version 10)
when developing and deploying R:BASE Mobile Applications.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
