QTDragon - Popup keyboard not working in REF offset popup.

I used QTDragon + touch screen to actually make parts for the first time today. I found that the popup keyboard doesn't work when in the popup where you set an offset after finding an edge. REFY -> Set.

I confirm the problem.
There is a work around if you are willing to modify the .ui file in designer.

on the screenOptions widget make sure property calculatorDialog_option is checked.
on all the axisToolButtons change the 'dialog_code_string' from ENTRY to CALCULATOR

Then you'll get a touchscreen friendly calculator - you might even like it better.

Thanks Chris, I'll give it a try. I just beginning to learn how to modify the UI.

Much better. Thanks Chris.

I was thinking of making it standard actually.

The new popup calculator screen looks great.

Thanks Chris.

A bit late to the party, but another workaround is to modify the handler code with the following:
In the def initialized__ method, add:

Then modify the following method:

This will use the ENTRY method if the virtual keyboard is disabled and the CALCULATOR method if enabled.
It works with versions 2.8 and 2.9. If you want the chosen method to be permanent, then use the SCREENOPTIONS parameter like Chris said above.

Thanks Jim,

I will have a look at that. There was another place that I wanted to use the calculator but couldn't find the spot to sent the property. I have been working on my workflow using an M6 remap with a mix of repeatable tools and variable length tools. I will get back to this in the near future.

Thanks
