Show/Hide Keyboard

[greycheek]

I'll try to explain:
I have a text field in my app. When the app is run and when I tap on the text field, instead of the cursor appearing at the top of the field, as it would normally , it instead always appears in the middle of the text field.

[Mr. Kibernetik]

Yes, I understnd this. But when I run this code:

Code: Select all

FIELD 0 AT 100,100

I get a text field, and when I tap it - cursor appears in its left corner, as it should.

Here is my code:

GOSUB initialize
GOSUB displaySetup

main:
for i = 0 to buttons-1
if button_pressed(button$(i))=1 then
buttonISpressed=1
if i < 10 then
if stack$(argument)<>"0" then
stack$(argument)=stack$(argument) & button$(i)
else
stack$(argument)=button$(i)
endif
Result$=stack$(argument)
break
end if
end if
next i
if buttonISpressed then
buttonISpressed=0
DRAW TEXT Result$ AT margin,margin
end if
goto main

initialize:
sh=SCREEN_HEIGHT()

[Mr. Kibernetik]

So what I should do to get the probem?

If I hit the text field, cursor is in leftmost position.

[greycheek]

It does appear at the left, but is the cursor vertically centered in the text field, or at the top.

[Mr. Kibernetik]

This is a single-line text field, so cursor is always centered vertically. Actually height of your field is too big now.

Multi-line text field will be available in version 4.8. Text field font properties also will be available in version 4.8.

[greycheek]

Ok good. When will 4.8 be available?

Do you anticipate including custom button image or shape features?

[Mr. Kibernetik]

Version 4.8 will be available soon.

You can use sprites for buttons with custom shapes.

[Mr. Kibernetik]

I want to be able to move the screen up using the page commands, but in order to do that there needs to be some way to know when the keyboard is active.

This feature will be implemented in version 5.1.
