Interface Question

[Jigabyte]

Hi All,

I have a general question; if I design a form which has input boxes all the way down the screen how do you handle the fact that the popup keyboard will cover the bottom entries so you will not know what your entering.

Is there anyway to code it so that the form scrolls up?

Thank you all very much,

Jiggy!

I wouldn't bother, I'd cheat:

You wouldn't have to search this forum long to find me writing about putting all your controls on panels, and only having one form in a PDA app. You could expand on this to take care of your problem:

1) Create two panels with the same color.
2) Put some textboxes on one, and the rest on the other.
3) Position the two panels with one at the top of the screen, and the second immediately below the first one.
4) When you need the keypad, change the TOP property of the lower panel to 0.

If the upper panel is the size of the keypad, the result of this will be that when the keypad pops up, the lower panel will move up to the top of the screen, which will leave a gap at the bottom which will be filled by the keypad. When the keypad goes away, you drop the panel back down to where it was, and the other panel, which had been hidden when the lower panel moved up, will re-appear back in place. If the two panels are the same color, it will look like the screen moved up.

Excellent, that seems a much easier way; thanks alot.
