Palmosoft's PalmoUtil2 is a SatForms extension that provides some popup keyboard enhancement functions, as well as some general utility functions.

New features in V1.1 include:

• PalmoUnformatNumber - unformat a number you have formatted with PalmoFormatNumber
• CapsString - format a string with all upper letter, all lower letter, or first upper and other lower
• PalmoWriteTXT: you can write a txt freely inside a form, giving a max width (it finish with ellipsys). This function works properly (for the ellipsys) with a OS > 3.2 even if color is supported ONLY in OS >= 3.5
• The keyboard now contains the apostrophe ' and the 000 key now function as expected
• PalmoSKD now takes another parameter (forcedcomma) if you want to force the ASCII code of the decimal chars in the 123 keyboard. This is good if you have to make a dataentry with code who have numbers (no decimal) but some separator like / . and so on.

• SFPalmoUtil2 comes with a keyboard hack included (an hack is a replacement of system keyboard). You can use this new keyboard (after you have called PalmoHackKeyInit) who allows you:
  • Set Caps Mode.
  • Enable / Disable different keyboard (abc, 123, Int'l), for example to give user the permission only to write number.
  • Enable / Disable graffiti while in keyboard.
  • Enable / Disable hardware button and don't permit the user to go out of your program while in keyboard.
  • Start keyboard from script
• SFPalmoUtil2 comes with some useful function like:
  • PalmoWaitInit / PalmoWaitMessage / PalmoWaitEnd (show a wait message while you make some long processes).
  • PalmoSetKey: you can send keystroke from script (useful when you want to make a single refresh to listbox without the annoying forms().refresh. See what character to send in Chars.h include file of Palm SDK.
  • PalmoFormatNumber for formatting with thousand and comma AS YOU SET IN PREFERENCE.
