Hi all!,

I need to build a form with some editBoxes and my own numeric keyboard,
I have a problem with the keyboard, I have used a Button object for each
number
(1, 2, 3, .. 9) but when I press the buttons the current textBox lost the
focus and
I can´t know as it is the textbox where send the key pressed.

Any Ideas?
 
Have a TextBox variable tracking which was the last box to receive focus:
e.g. mLastBox.
When your numeric buttons are clicked, append/manipulate text for the
mLastBox (optionally giving it back the focus depending on your specific
requirements)

Cheers
Daniel
 
hmn, yes, yes, isn´t the most elegant way, I don´t think that the SIP works
it.

other way?

The SIP works by dropping characters into the input system using
PostKeybdMessage and keybd_event. Characters end up at whatever control
(even in another application), has the focus.

You're right, but then you're not writing a SIP. The SIP is designed
specifically for this and it's not a Window in your current application
process. If that's what you want, then you really need to write a SIP.
