Scripts for Onscreen Keyboard

[jbi]

I am designing a customer sign-up database to run in kiosk mode. I want to use an on-screen keyboard for entering names, address etc... I am designing it as user-friendly as possible so there will only be one field at a time on the screen for them to enter info into so they don't need to tab or enter into multiple fields a NEXT button brings them to the next layout. I need help with the scripting or an example if one exists. Obviously, a script for each button is easy but how do I make it enter the letters to each individual fields as the layouts change, and how can I give them the ability to delete letters in the field if they make a mistake? Oh Really!

assuming there's only one field per layout...

 

adding a character

 

go to next field

insert calculated result [ get ( scriptparameter) ]

 

where the scriptparameter is the character of the corresponding button.

 

 

backspacing

 

go to next field

set variable [ $content ; get (activefieldcontents) ]

set field [ left ( $content ; length ( $content ) - 1 ) ]
