a control on the IOS keyboard possible ?

[jmburnod]

Hi All,
Does someone have tried to have a control on the IOS keyboard ?
I have a custom cursor (a grc) the user can move with one click only.
I want the user can use this custom cursor on the IOS keyboard to type letters.

Other ideas are welcome
(i have explored screenmouseloc but it is not available on IOS)

Best regards

Hi Jean-Marc,

This is impossible and if you found a hack to make it possible, I don't think Apple would allow it.

Why do you want this and what kind of characters do you want to be able to type?

Kind regards,

Mark

The keyboard is overlaid on top of the card, and any LiveCode controls will appear under it. It isn't possible to bring your own objects to the top.

Hi Mark, Jacque,

Thank for this confirmation.
i will do a custom keyboard

Why do you want this and what kind of characters do you want to be able to type?

This is for handicaped people they can do one click only
I want to be able to type alphabetics chars (with diacriticals), punctuation,numbers and "@"

Best regards

Jean-Marc,

That is exactly how the iOS keyboard works already. Can you be more specific about what you're trying to accomplish?

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

Can you be more specific about what you're trying to accomplish?

Some people can do one click on one place only
I use it to move a custom cursor (cli1),stop it (clic2), and send a message to the control under the cursor.
In this case the control is a letter of a keeyboard which put the letter after a field.

For OSX version i have made a custom keyboard
I hoped I could use the keyboard IOS but it seems that I am going to have to make one for IOS

Best regards

Hi Jean-Marc,

I presume that creating a custom keyboard would be the best thing to do.

Hi Dixie,

using the iOS keyboard to move things around

Sorry, it seems i'm not clear. I need the opposite:

A control "MyCursor" move on a keyboard.

1. A (pending) loop change the direction of an arrow
2. A clic stop this loop and "MyCursor" move in the choosen way
3. A clic stop the move
4. A clic send a mouseup to the control under "MyCursor"
5. The control do his job
6. Go to the first loop (1)

It work well but i must do a custom keyboard because
The keyboard is overlaid on top of the card on IOS

Be well

Jean-Marc
