[QUOTE="thlucas, post: 731673, member: 111098"] I am curious about this functionality as well for MP versions prior to v1.2.0. If developing for MP v1.2.0 and above, you can use the "SetLabelAsInitialText" method and the "Label" property to set the initial value - note that this is only supported under MP v1.2.0 and above though. This method and property do not exist prior to v1.2.0, and will generate compiler errors if you try to use them in prior versions. I think it's kinda weird that they have the "SetLabelAsInitialText" method - why not just display whatever is set in the "Label" property as the initial text? Why the extra line of code to the method? Note that it still does not solve the "text-at-end" problem. ie when I start typing, it wipes out the original entry and replaces it with the characters entered. Here's the code I used. [CODE] // display virtual keyboard. // MPVersion Compatibility notes: // - VirtualKeyboard SetLabelAsInitialText method is not supported prior to v1.2.0.0! // - VirtualKeyboard Label property is not supported prior to v1.2.0.0! VirtualKeyboard kbd = (VirtualKeyboard)GUIWindowManager.GetWindow((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD); kbd.Reset(); kbd.Label = "My Initial Text"; kbd.SetLabelAsInitialText(); kbd.DoModal(this.GetID); [/CODE] [/QUOTE]
