Hi!
I’m trying to implement a numpad in a flexpendant application, but since I’m quite new to
this I wonder how to implement it? The manual just mention something about connecting the pad to a textbox?

I gave up and used a CompactAlphaPad instead, but still I’m curious how to use the NumPad.

Got the same problem, can’t see the NumPad on the form.
In an older version i used two years ago(I think RAB 5.11) it works …
Anyone info’s about that?

Got the same problem..
How to use NumPad control??? there are too few documentation about it in the FP SDK (v5.14).
It’s can be used only with TextBox target??

I have used the NumPad function till v5.13 and it worked in the following way:
Declaration of the NumPad - in my case NumPad\_Joints and then I connected
the target of a TexBox (see last command) with the NumPad
this.numPad\_Joints = new ABB.Robotics.Tps.Windows.Forms.NumPad();
this.numPad\_Joints.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
this.numPad\_Joints.EnablePoint = true;
this.numPad\_Joints.EnableSign = true;
this.numPad\_Joints.ExponentFormatButton = false;
this.numPad\_Joints.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(331, 29);
this.numPad\_Joints.PointText = “.”;
this.numPad\_Joints.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(191, 191);
this.numPad\_Joints.TabIndex = 33;
this.numPad\_Joints.Visible = true;
numPad\_Joints.Show();
numPad\_Joints.BringToFront();
this.numPad\_Joints.Target = this.tb\_NumPad;
Maybe it helps you.

Tnx Chaos about your help!!
but I have another question: How I can do it as screenshot?? (is “Program Data” edit num value).
If the numpad target can be only a texbox, how we can do it about listView specific cell??? maybe is a textbox overlay value cell while numpad control is shown?? some ideas???
bye Ema!
