Keyboard/Keypad Send Commands (Cont.)
^VKP Show Virtual Keypad Command. Brings up system virtual keypad, which is the keypad without a designated
text entry area. A Text Input button must be in focus; if not, the keypad will not appear. The type of keypad is
determined by the Text Area currently in focus. When user presses the "Done" button, a string is returned to the
master with the user-entered value. The keypad can be removed either by the Back button or the "^AKR"
command (see
page 96 ).
Syntax:
"'^VKP'"
^BIT Button Input Type Command. Modifies the keyboard type of the text input button(s) with given address(es). If
this is sent to a button that is not a Text Input button, it has no effect.

Variables:
Address Range = range of addresses that this command applies to
