Backspace question

[Dav]

I was making a custom input routine for text mode (instead of getting input on top of screen) and I can't figure out how to see when a user presses the backspace. Is that a recognized key in smart basic or is it a iOS restricted thing? Thanks.

And how do you display a keyboard?

[Dav]

OPTION KEYBOARD ON, I think. I was going to post my input code just now, but now I can't locate it. I hope I didn't delete it!

Try this code:

Code: Select all

OPTION KEYBOARD ON
1 a$=INKEY$()
IF a$="" THEN 1
PRINT a$
GOTO 1

It will give you an idea.

Yes, that works correctly. I must have messed up some variables in my code somewhere. Good thing I deleted it then . I'll start over. Thanks for your reply.

Smart Basic makes my iPad fun!
