Implementation
- The virtual keyboard type (Alphabet, NumberPad, and others) is stored in the KeyboardType property of edit controls. To change the virtual keyboard type, select an edit control (First Name, Email or other) in the Form Designer and select an needed virtual keyboard type in the KeyboardType property in the Object Inspector.
- The event handlers for OnVirtualKeyboardShown and OnVirtualKeyboardHidden events of the VKBaseForm object are used to scroll the VertScrollBox1 scroll box and adapt the view to the height of the Virtual Keyboard.
