Create a numerical keypad that populates several input fields that are active?

Apr 27, 2016

Hi,

I want to create several numerical input fields for a project.

I want to create a Numerical Keypad from 0 to 10, that when I have clicked to make the input field active, whatever I click in the numerical Keypad, will populate the input field.

When I click on the next Input field, I can use the same numerical keypad to populate that also.

Any suggestions on doing this with variables?

thanks

Hello Darren!

Check out the file attached, maybe it can help! I think I've found it somewhere here on the forum years ago...

Hi, I took a look and unfortunately it is not what I am looking for. The example is a one to simulate the calculator but what I need is to be able to change the focus to another variable input field using the same number buttons. If I highlight an input field the keypad will populate it's associated variable, and if I click on another input field the same number keys will populate the second variable.

I hope this makes sense

You could use layers I suppose...

If you highlight input field "A" go to layer 1

If you highlight input field "B" go to layer 2

Within those layers you create the very same keypad, but each keypad is associated to a different variable.
