    touchscreen keyboard ?

    is it possible to set buttons in mach so that they will show up in mdi

    I've setup a touch screen on my system which works incredibly well with mach , and I am working on a new screen setup for mach . what i am trying to do is create an mdi page with a built in keyboard , so far its not working out , not sure if I'm getting the vb code wrong or if its simply not possible

    Ive downloaded on screen keyboards which work well but it would be nice if everything was self contained

    I think you want to use the Sendkeys function in VB. There's a thread somewhere with info, I'm trying to find it.

    thanks Ger
    I'll play around with it some and see what i can come up with
    one problem that i'm having is that i click on the mdi to highlight it but when i click on the key button then the highlight is gone from the mdi so i think this may not work
