variable text string

drewbert · March 2010

i'm trying to get the numbers on a keypad to display in a variable text button (for a audio conference system...to see the number as it is being dialed).

the touch panel is a VPN-CP.
i could create a keypad button, but that pops open a keypad and closes it after pushing "enter", which i don't want to do. it also does not have the star and pound symbol, which may or may not be needed.
so, i created my own keypad, sending the numbers to the Vortex EF2211.

how do i create a string, add the next character entered, have the full number displayed (as number buttons are being pushed)?

thanks.

This should give you an idea of how it can be done.

BUTTON_EVENT[vdvAllVortexTP,nPhoneNbrBtn]
{
	PUSH:
	{
		local_var INTEGER nBtnIdx
		nBtnIdx = GET_LAST(nPhoneNbrBtn)
		IF(!flagPhoneStatus) //CHECK TO SEE IF THE PHONE IS ON HOOK
		{
			IF(nBtnIdx = 12)
			{
				sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,35"
			}
			ELSE IF(nBtnIdx = 11)
			{
				sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,42"
			}
			ELSE
			{
				sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,ITOA(nBtnIdx-1)"
			}
		}
		ELSE IF (flagPhoneStatus)
		{
			IF(nBtnIdx = 12)
			{
				CLEAR_BUFFER sNumberToDial
				sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,35"
				SEND_STRING vdvAllVortexTRS232,"sIDString,sTelcoFnct[9],sNumberToDial,13"
				CLEAR_BUFFER sNumberToDial
			}
			ELSE IF(nBtnIdx = 11)
			{
				CLEAR_BUFFER sNumberToDial
				sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,42"
				SEND_STRING vdvAllVortexTRS232,"sIDString,sTelcoFnct[9],sNumberToDial,13"
				CLEAR_BUFFER sNumberToDial
			}
			ELSE
			{
				CLEAR_BUFFER sNumberToDial
				sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,ITOA(nBtnIdx-1)"
				SEND_STRING vdvAllVortexTRS232,"sIDString,sTelcoFnct[9],sNumberToDial,13"
				CLEAR_BUFFER sNumberToDial
			}
		}
		SEND_COMMAND vdvAllVortexTP, "'@TXT',2,sNumberToDial"
	}
}

text box

thanks so much for that guidance.
here is what i ended up with...
(would love to get feedback on this as well.)

BUTTON_EVENT[vdvTP,102] // dial
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_STRING dvTel_Interface,"'S03PHONE1',13"
SEND_COMMAND vdvTP,"'PPON-phone_text_box'"
}
}

BUTTON_EVENT[vdvTP,103] // hang-up
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_STRING dvTel_Interface,"'S03PHONE0',13"
SEND_COMMAND vdvTP,"'PPOF-phone_text_box'"

SEND_COMMAND vdvTP, "'@TXT',4,''"
CLEAR_BUFFER sNumberToDial
}
}

BUTTON_EVENT[AUD_CNF_CNTRL]
{
PUSH:
{
LOCAL_VAR INTEGER nBtnIdx
nBtnIdx = GET_LAST(AUD_CNF_CNTRL)
IF(nBtnIdx = 11)
{
sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,'*'"
SEND_STRING dvTel_Interface,"'S03DIAL*',13"
}
ELSE IF(nBtnIdx = 12)
{
sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,'#'"
SEND_STRING dvTel_Interface,"'S03DIAL#',13"
}
ELSE
{
sNumberToDial = "sNumberToDial,ITOA(nBtnIdx-1)"
SEND_STRING dvTel_Interface,"'S03DIAL',ITOA(nBtnIdx-1),13"
}
SEND_COMMAND vdvTP, "'@TXT',4,sNumberToDial"
}
}

...sry, not sure how to format it to appear in the post the way yours did.

phone number entry

any hints on how to have dashes or spaces show up?
as in, if the first digit is 1, follow it with a space; after three digits, follow with a space; etc.

thanks.
