Hi,

I want to avoid to open onscreen keyboard when I press the enter key. Is this possible? I suspect I need to modify the keymap for my screen but I don't know how.
I want to write from a barcode reader and detect the enter key to change to another window. Is this possible?

Code:

<control type="edit" id="3011">
            <description>Read data</description>
            <posx>300</posx>
            <posy>250</posy>
            <width>250</width>
            <visible>true</visible>
            <aligny>center</aligny>
            <label></label>
            <hinttext></hinttext>
            <font>font14</font>
            <textoffsetx>10</textoffsetx>
            <textcolor>FFB2D4F5</textcolor>
            <disabledcolor>FF000000</disabledcolor>
            <invalidcolor>FFFFFFFF</invalidcolor>
            <texturefocus>button-focus.png</texturefocus>
            <texturenofocus>button-nofocus.png</texturenofocus>
            <pulseonselect>no</pulseonselect>
        </control>

Thanks in advance

Hi,

the answer is yes. As 'Black says in another post you need to create an keyboard.xml file in XBMC\userdata\keymaps\ directory and override the enter and return keys. Something like that.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
    <global>
    <keyboard>
      <return>noop</return>
      <enter>noop</enter>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

It might only be possible with a custom DialogKeyboard.xml which executes a custom action just in that case when it's opened from an edit control.

Hi `Black,

What do you mean with this:

"custom DialogKeyboard.xml which executes a custom action". I use the "standard" dialog keyboard and it works for me. An example is welcomed.

Thanks

I think it's not possible because an edit control has no <onfocus> attribute where you could set a variable so you can't know that you are coming from an edit control if the keyboard gets activated.

Hi `Black,

Thanks for the clarification.
