WinCE Port virtual keyboard activation

Post by Lostech »

I don´t know if this might be a bug or a mistake by myself.
Normally I could open the virtual keyboard for example in MI2 when the code wheel recipes are asked, by double tapping the top most line(s). Then suddenly it did not work anymore. Everytime I tried to open the virtual keyboard in this way ScummVM just closed.
Then I discovered that also the hardware key mapping for the virtual keyboard function has been vanished.
So I set up again a key binding for that and from this moment the double tap at the top also worked again. So is there really a need to map a key to get this double tap virtual keyboard call to function because README-WinCE.txt does not refer that this is needed :?:

When the protection check screen appears in MI2, there is currently a "hacky" way implementing the forced view of the virtual keyboard. There are a lot of nasty problems with that code there that will go away soon, especially because the new plugin infrastructure prohibits such hacks.

OK, that explains this behaviour. THX.
