You can try to change the InputType to NONE (I didn't check it).

Oh God am I confused! All I want to do is know WHERE to put "input_type_none". I get an not initialized error even though it exists!

There isn't one single sample of it! I'm freaked. Where I do it in code, I get "not initialzed" or some such message. Why is that? The edttext object already exists (is declared) in the code from the added view in the layout. I do that after the declared edt, and I get that message.

Can someone, PLEASE, send me a fully working sample of this in a custom keyboard layout with numbers 0 through 9 and a decimal point? That's all I wanna do, input a decimal point, NOT using the virtual keyboard. Thanks!

Sorry about being strident... NumberDialog might do it

Well, I eagerly await an answer to my original post, that is, create a numeric-only custom keyboard with 0-9 and all the usual numeric stuff including a decimal point and an All Clear button.

But I'm going to try a Numeric Dialog Box in the meanwhile.

Bear with me, I'm a complete and total noob not only at programming but, using B4a. Sorry about the strident call for help

You can use this code to hide it

Dim p As Phone
p.HideKeyboard(Activity)

and it should be inside this event code

Sub editFeld_EnterPressed

I'll catch on eventually Thank you.

Thank you.

I"m trying for a custom keyboard that only accepts one decimal point. But I also see that there are lots of nice people, like yourself, that are trying to help me. I'll get it eventually, I"ll never give up trying to learn programming and developing a killer app I have in mind. Thanks again.

Which sub and where?

Oh, wanted to ask you about this, where do I actually put this sub? Inside the click event of the edit textbox?

Thank u so much and appreciate it, will try this 2night first thing
