Touch Screen Keypad

[Peter Strupp]

Has anybody seen or developed a alpha-numeric keypad for labview which will
work with a touch screen? I have the number keypad working fine but am
having trouble with the full keyboard. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm 100% certain that this topic (a usable touch-screen keyboard with LabVIEW)
was explored on Info-LabVIEW within the last 6 months, and that someone had
developed at least some kind of a solution that fought the "fat finger" issue.

Unfortunately, I can't track down the particular thread, and the best option
you have for searching the Info-LabVIEW archives is a page provided by Scott
Hannah (http://hannahsmac.magnet.fsu.edu/Databases/InfoLabView_search.html)
that is a little frustrating to use. I'd advise searching there and
perhaps
joining Info-LabVIEW and seeing if anyone else remembers the thread.

Peter,

I have a keyboard VI I am sure I got from the NI ftp (well almost sure).
It has no function keys and no CTRL ,ALT. I do not know if it will work
for a touch screen or not. It was done in version 3.x though I cant find it
on the web site right now.

It simply has a string input and string output, a cluster of booleans for the
keys, and the logic to decode the booleans. After looking at it there is a
much
cleaner way to do this.

It is about 750KB, I will send it if you want

There is a company Selling touchscreen keypad VIs over the Web.
They are about $30-$45 and can be found on the SStreams site
(www.sstreams.com). I bought one and it works OK. (The diagram needed
tidying up though).
