I cannot interpret the value from the Barcode Scanner from Power Builder.
I am seeing from Key event, the value of Key seems to be "KeyEscape!" and hence it closes the window.
Is there any syntax which gets the value from the Barcode Scanner in the keyevent ?
But when i use notepad, it is showing some value like "b000012300 " and the space represents KeyEscape!
Is there a way to interpret this value in power builder ?
Please help me.
The cancel property for a CommandButton, PictureButton or OLECustomControl makes it being activated by the Esc key.
It is likely that you have a button on your window to close it that have the cancel property set to true.

I'm trying to detect key pressed for an external keyboard (via bluetooth) with an 4th generation iPad. I was only able to do so when the focus is on a EditText Field.
Without the edit text field, the key down events aren't captured by the program. Is there any work around for this issue?
I've tried to following, but this doesn't seem to work:
-(NSArray *) keyCommands
{
}
It is possible to read the following in the apple Documentation:
UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey
The key for an NSValue object containing a CGRect that identifies the start frame of the keyboard ……
UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey
The key for an NSValue object containing a CGRect that identifies the end frame of the keyboard ……
Would that mean that the keyboard has a "start frame" and an "end frame"?
I suppose YES.
But when the keyboard appears I cannot see any frame changing. It just stays the same frome start to end.
So my question is:
What are those "start frame" and "end frame" referring to?
I must be missing something.
Thanks for your help.
The keyboard does indeed have a start and end frame, and the properties do exactly what you suppose they do. They keyboard does not always animate however; sometimes it just appears or changes size. For example, in the case that you are typing on the Japanese keyboard, when the keyboardWillShow fires after the first character is hit. There's no animation, but an additional bar appears above the keyboard, thus changing the size. The properties you listed above tell you how much the keyboard changed size by.
I'm not sure what exactly you're looking at when you say no frames are changing. I suppose it's possible that when you move from one editable text field to another, you get a keyboardWillShow notification, even though nothing on the screen changes.
I have a table listing some strings, and what I want is when I tap the add button on the navigation bar, a keyboard with a textField would jump up, so I can input a string in the textField, then when I tap the return key, the keyboard disappear as well as the textField, and the new string is added to the table.
I already make up a nib file with a toolBar containing a textField, and I just failed to go on.
How can I implement this idea? Use the inputAccessoryView? If so, that means the inputAccessoryView of the textField which belongs to the toolBar is gonna be the toolBar itself!
This seem kind of weird and I have not been able to make it work till now.
Or is there another way for this idea?
Thanks a lot!
I've solved the problems by using notification instead of inputAccessoryView.
There is a sample code in XCode called "KeyboardAccessory", and it gives a good example about using keyboard notifications!
Or custom a view with a tab, and set it as the textField's inputAccessoryView, that would also work!
I am working in j2me midp2.0 environment. Now, I want to draw String (custom item) based on user key pressed event. Here, my problem is, some phones default input mode is numeric and I can't be able to draw Strings. How to change this input mode to Strings and vice versa?
I think you manually get the key values and change it. On key press event you find which key pressed based on that you write a login to get numeric values or character, etc.
At the moment, I have code that runs in the Application's SheetBeforeRightClick event, but I've found that this code doesn't run when I press the keyboard's Context Menu key instead of using the right mouse button, which means that I get the wrong menu.
I could use the SheetSelectionChange event instead, but I'd imagine this would be quite error prone. Is there a more elegant way of doing it?
There is a BeforeContextMenu event you can use.

It should catch both the right click and the keyboard key.
