Hi,

How can I force HW_LAYOUT_TOUCHSCREEN_12 in my application without having a textfield? I have only a FullScreen and I want to show the keyboard with only the digits.

Thanks

Unfortunately there is not an API for this. You might try showing the keyboard and using the EventInjector to input a lock on the ALT key (!,123) but that may not work either.

I have a very similar problem and hope that you can give me some ideas on how to move forward.

 

I have a FullScreen screen where I want to receive all keypresses. Using a combination of keyChar (for symbol keys) and keyDown/keyUp works good for me. The only problem is the virtual keyboard layout, hence this post. 

I want the keyboard layout to reflect the type of input that I expect. Some times it is an URL type of field, some times it might be a number and so on. Right now I feel stuck, and the only solutions I come up with are the following: 

1. Use the virtual keyboard the way I do. I will get keyDowns but the keyboard layout will always be the same

2. Use blackberry fields for input which will give me the keyboard layout I want. Problem is, then I won't get keyChar/keyDown events the way I want (since I won't get keyDown etc when SureType takes over, as discussed in other threads).  

Any suggestions? Alternative solutions? Corrections? Any help would be appreciated.
