Digital Workshop

I have the sample Onscreen Keyboad Brendon Knifton did sometime back and I am trying to adapt it for use in a kiosk. What I want is just for the keyboard to become available when a field has to be filled in and fills in the field as you type.

I have had a very quick look at the publication and modified it to work in
the way you wanted. NOTE this was original produced in 4.5 and I have
had to move it through the versions to save it as an 05 publication. I have
not checked it works 100% so consider this an example only.

What I have done is put the keyboard in a frame (initially hidden. when
the mouse cursor goes over the text input area the keyboard appears.

I have set the last action on the virtual keyboard to hide the keyboard
when it is pressed.

Brenden,

Thanks for the response. I will check it out immediately.

Do you still have the old version available for download, I'm still using opus 2.81!

Thanks

I did notice that the link to the virtual keyboard is not working.

I no longer have any copies of this publication, they were lost along with a major hard drive crash.

Did you manage to get a copy of the keyboard?

From memory, this was originally created in ILM 4.5, NOT in Opus 04.5.

I have a copy of the original ILM 4.5 which I used to convert the keyboard to Opus 04.5. As I recall, I had no great problems opening this ILM file in either 281 or 04.5. If you want a copy of the ILM file, give me an email address and I will send it to you.

The link Chris gave is working.

Thanks Paul. I'm always happy when I can avoid doing something unnecessary.

Thanks for that guys but the download will not open in my version of opus (2.81).

Does anyone have a version that will open in 2.81?

Keith

Do you want to see if my version for Opus 04.5 is backward compatible with 281.

I don't recall using any features that were peculiar to 04.5, but anything is possible.

As far as I can recall, the changes I made were to make the keyboard more closely resemble my 101/102 keyboard. This pub does not use any scripting, so it should work in 281 as well as Pro 281.

Here is a note of explanation that I added to the keyboard.



keyboard04.imp is 144kb, so I if anyone is interested, I can try and post it here, or send me a PM and I'll send it to you as an attachment.

The file that Chris gave the link to is compatible with Opus 2.81.
At least it is when I open it.

Hi Paul

How is it in sunny NZ? I think they've cancelled spring in Perth

Like you, I've had no trouble downloading from Chris' site, so it's a little mystifying that some are having problems. I don't have 281 installed any more. I converted all my 281 pubs to 04, and that's where I work these days.

Regards

Tried again and it still will not let me open it. Not sure whats going on here...

keith --

I was able to download the Keyboard sample from Chris without problems. Must be at your end.
