OnScreen numeric pad on Classic Client

xStepa

Hi, I need to set quantities (one active field => global variable) on touch-screen device. I've try it with Windows Scripting Host & SendKeys, but it doesn't work for me (only when pressed once). Do you have some idea how to solve it?

thank you

Do you need to emulate a user typing the numbers? Or do you need to build and code a from looking as on the screenshot to enable the user to type a number on a touchscreen device?

Hi Slawek, I have already the form with WSH.SendKeys() on each button, but this doesn't work.

So to answer your question - Yes, I need to emulate a user typing the numbers for the touch-only device. Users will type Quantities to an active field (1 + 2 + 3 => 123 pcs)

So it is a NAV Classic Client running on a PC/laptop (Windows-powered device) which has a touchscreen only, if I understand correctly your setup.

Can you check if you have any virtual keyboard driver installed on it?

Yes, NAV Classic Client running on Windows Server 2016 terminal services (the device itself has an Android + MS Remote Desktop app).

No additional keyboard driver except the default one.

I'm thinking that if a user is 'typing' numbers in your form then the NAV Client is the active application. So you are effectively sending keystrokes to yourself..

yes - and it works, but only with the first number. If I try to press more buttons then one (2 + 4 + 6 => 246pcs), than it calls validation somehow and only the first digit is passed to the function (2 in our example).

Thx

It is a bit confusing to me I must say. What application is suposed to handle keystrokes? Is it NAV ? Are you trying to send keystrokes from NAV back to NAV ?

Can you post the form code here?
