Definition of Keyboard-Layouts
The definition of the keyboard layout is done in single lines. For each line 3-Cfg Keys are
possible, according to the status of the special keys. Max. 20 key lines can be defined
per keyboard.
The overall size of the keyboard is automatically calculated based on the contained but
-
tons.
For XX any number from 01-20 can be specified.
The Syntax is always the same, e.g.:
LXX_Norm=Key1¦Key2¦Key3¦...¦
It is important that even the last keymust always must be terminated with the vertical
bar character "¦".
The number of keys within a row is not explicity limited, but no more than 300 keys per
keyboard can be defined. Overlapping keys will not be checked, the definition must be
correct at any time.
Syntax of a Key Definition
The syntax of a key is constructed as: " #Command;VK_CODE;Text¦ "
Single Fields and Commands will be separated through a Semicolon (;).
Each Key must be finished with the vertical bar character ("¦" Ascii-Code=124).
Special Commands will be introduced with the Character "#".
Should one of these reserved characters be indicated in the text or as a key code, the
Hex-Code must be used:
• "|" = "0x7C"
• "#" = "0x23"
• ";" = "0x3B"
The fields "#Command" and "Text" are optional, so that a minimum definition can look
like: "A|"
The generated Key code as well as the label of the key is defined with "A". This works
with single characters only. For other special keys, special "Virtual Keycodes (VK)" are
defined. (See table below).
If in a text for a key the combination "0x0A" is used, it will enforce a word-wrap in the
label of this key.
Example: "Row 1
0x0A Row 2"
However the possibility of vertical centering will be lost if using word-wrap.
CloseOnTimer
0=Off, Value >= 1000 specifies a timeout value in milliseconds for
this keyboard. If the timer runs out, the keyboard will be automat -
ically closed. A keystroke on the keyboard will start the timer each
time again.
