recognise the message sent by a contactor

[jmburnod]

Hi All,
I search the best way to recognise the message sent by a contactor.
Some contactors send a string ">1" . Other send something else but they send often a string with several chars.

I tried rawkeydown but it catch only ">" for this exemple.
I hope this contactor write the string in the selectedchunk
If that is the case I could get this fld after rawkeydown

Others idea are welcome

Best regards
Jean-Marc

What do you mean by a 'contactor' ?

Me, too.

At first glance, I thought it was an external switch.

Dears Two,
Thank you one more for help
I think Craig is right, switch is a better word to describe what is does:D
There are many sort of contactors we use to make app accessible for people who can produce only one input.
In this case it is a bluetooth contactor we can use with iPad.
Kind regards

You might be able to use the keysDown function.
