A anaylor01 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 22, 2011 #1 I want to capture keyboard input and put the text on a canvas. When the user clicks a button I want to open the keyboard and then capture what they type and put that on the canvas. Can this be done? If so is there an example somewhere? I am getting a signature does not match expected signature error.

Then you can use the TextChanged event to handle the input. I am getting a signature does not match expected signature error Click to expand...

A anaylor01 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 22, 2011 #3 Oh. So I can set the left of the edittext box to screenwidth + 10? That's cool I didn't know you could do that. I thought I deleted that part about the error. I figured it out. Thanks Erel. Upvote 0

A anaylor01 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 22, 2011 #4 Ok. I use request focus and it puts the cursor in the edittext box but it doesn't bring up the keyboard. Am I doing something wrong? Code: Sub btnText_click edtblank.RequestFocus End Sub Upvote 0

A anaylor01 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 22, 2011 #9 I put the code in the textchanged event but it doesn't put it on the screen until I press the Done button. I want it to show each letter as it is typed. Upvote 0
