Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : CMM 2 - Command for formatted input field is missing

CMM2 V5.06
I miss a command to query a keyboard entry at a certain point in a predefined length on the screen without scrolling the screen. See also the Accept at command in the Extended Basic of the TI994A

Hi Axel,
I'm not sure what you're looking for, but I think that (and much more) can be done in a little user defined function. Use your creativity!  

Best regards
Michael

I think I'd suggest a Function, probably using LINE INPUT and/or possibly KEYDOWN to trap a CR from the enter key.

I don't think you'll get matherp to even consider an ACCEPT command, Axel. :)
You don't really need it with the CMM2 anyway as your Function would run incredibly fast compared with the TI994A and the space available for variables is huge.

In the 80s I wrote software for a sailing school on a TI99 / 4a, we needed input fields for a table that was displayed on the screen. I think it makes sense to be able to format input fields. I'll see how far I can get with a subroutine.

Have a look at vegipete's spreadsheet program to see what can be done with the S/W as-is
