B basil99 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 7, 2013 #1 Hi! Played a lot with great InputDialog library, but feel a bit unsatisfied. I have labels/buttons and when user clicks I need to get numerical input. With InputDialog lib i got great popup first, then if i click the input field, i'm redirected to system numerical dialog. Is it possible to invoke system numerical keyboard in Sub _Click and how to handle events and return value ? Thank you

No, all well with InputDialog lib, my question: is it possible to code like that: Code: Copy Sub Button_Click Dim code as int code = CallSystemNumericalInput( text ) if code = Ok newtext = CallSystemNumericalInput.text end if End sub Upvote 0

I mean a standart Android dialog with input field, keyboard etc. You got it when you click InputDialog input area. Another example - if you declare EditText view, clicking on it, invokes input dialog Last edited: Mar 8, 2013 Upvote 0

agraham Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 8, 2013 #12 I think you need to rephrase the question as it is not very meaningful at the moment. the INPUT_TYPE constants are for deciding what type of user input is accepted and Buttons and Labels don't accept input. Upvote 0

If you click on a button, you will not get a software keyboard! If your button opens an InputDialog, then the keyboard will open. A keyboard only opens in an EditText that is enabled. Upvote 0
