Sending Text via Event Client.. possible? - Lucleonhart - 2009-03-02

Hey all.
I'm currently developing a mobile EventClient, and have some problems...
So, is it possible to send a text entry to xbmc? For example when Labeling a new Source, i have that nice text input window on my xbmc screen... now it would be a mess to use the directional pad to enter keys, when i have such a nice little keyboard on my PPC device... but i cannot figure out how to send a string to the event server... Sad

Any suggestions?

Nonononono. *g*
I want to use my Xperia Keyboard to type in the label for a film or source, not using the directional buttons and an onscreen keyboard...

You can send text, there is a SDL forwarder that takes the keyboard on computer A and send it through eventclients to computer B

ie send the string a char at a time. Sending string isn't an event, a keypress, however, is.
