First you have to create a string from a keypad, then send it.
Check out:
cKEYPAD_ENTRY = ITOA(BUTTON.INPUT.CHANNEL - 100)
the buttons on the keypad are 100-110
so subtract 100 and assign that value to a keypad variable, then update the cPHONE_NUMBER. Then send the value to the touch panel in the dial button event.
You can also delete and clear the phone number.

Although the above code is for XAP units and for G4 panels, is there any reason for the phone number not to appear in the variable text box on a G5 panel, i have replaced the Text11 command with ^TXT-11,0 and when i put in a manual test string for a button event like SEND_COMMAND vdvTPa,"'^TXT-11,0, 123456'" it works and shows 123456 in the variable text box 11, but using the above code the CHAR cPHONE_NUMBER does not appear in the variable text box 11 but the code works and the unit dials and connects etc, what any i missing here any help greatly appreciated, i know it will be something simple, the code and variable text box both work on a TP4 touchscreens as i just copied and pasted previous working examples and changed the TEXT11- where ever it was used.
