Hi all,
Using FTV studio 8 on windows 7 touchscreen monitor. I want a large on-screen keyboard for touch screen typing logins and notes.
I would like the keyboard to be displayed and locked into a specific position. (100 px above the bottom of the screen).
Options I have considered:

Using FTV studio 8 on windows 7 touchscreen monitor. I want a large on-screen keyboard for touch screen typing logins and notes.
I would like the keyboard to be displayed and locked into a specific position. (100 px above the bottom of the screen).
Options I have considered:
1. Using default rockwell keyboards. Problem: keyboard is too small for gloved hand to type accurately.
2. Use built in Microsoft on-screen keyboard. Problem: windows key button poses a security issue and allows users too much access. Third party keyboard designer software may be an option. Any suggestions?
3. Build custom keyboard inside of FTV studio.
Tried searching these forums, the closest I could get to is this unresolved thread:2. Use built in Microsoft on-screen keyboard. Problem: windows key button poses a security issue and allows users too much access. Third party keyboard designer software may be an option. Any suggestions?
3. Build custom keyboard inside of FTV studio.
3.1: Use popup display and the standard rockwell built-in login functionality.
Problem: login box does not allow other displays to have focus, so we can't type in text via a separate display.
3.2: Use popup display and custom username/pw string input tags. A 'log me in' button will push these values into the "login [operator] [password]".
Problem: I can't pass the string data to the login function.
I am using code syntax: Login temp_username temp_pw
where temp_username and temp_pw are tags. Can someone check my syntax?
Also, is there a security issue with this method? Maybe bad practice as login/pw is stored as an unsecured tag somewhere...
