    Using MP 1.3 RC1 using the [very] basic skin.

    Found out that the virtual keyboard has changed since 1.2.3 and I now have to do -
    keyboard.Label = Initial
    keyboard.SetLabelAsInitialText(True)
    But upon entering ANY key the text disappears!

    This is true even if just moving using the cursor keys.

    I have done a search but nothing mentions this as an existing issue, have I missed something.

    (I was trying to make 1.3 compatible version of my Clock/Internet Radio/HomeSeer and Automation plugins. Which all use this to configure themselves inside of MP proper.)

    So, what the deuce have I missed please....?

    If you prefer old behaviour, use:
    Code:
    keyboard.SetLabelAsInitialText(false); // makes sure, it is NOT using any predefined text from skin control definitions, which do exist in new default skins
    keyboard.Text = yourpresettext;

    HUGE thanks Guzzi (biker?), I'll try that.

    I did do a search before asking (honest!) but I couldn't find anything except a few examples - my old 1.2.3 code didn't work at all, just came up blank.

    See, this is a nice friendly forum, people answer questions without being condescending - it's wonderful. If it were like SOME forums I've been on I'd drop MP like a brick.

    Thnak you again.

    You're welcome. "Fortunately" I just recently got reported exactly the same problem and had to look for a solution ;-)
    (And no, unfortunately not a biker anymore since quite a long time ... maybe I'll restart next summer ...)
