I'm having a play with VisiGenie for the first time and I think I may have run into a limitation of that environment. I want to be able to touch an LEDDigit and have a keyboard displayed. In the past, I've done this with a 4Duino and the SPE environment so I have a reasonable understanding of how it *could* be achieved (at least with SPE!) In fact, I've moved to a GEN4 display plus Arduino Mega because I just ran out of memory for what I need.
With VisiGenie because the display code is written automatically, I am relying on exposed events to hook onto. These don't seem to exist and scanning this forum it seems I have one choice: upgrade to Workshop Pro to have access to the 'Magic' widgets. Is that right?
The other approach would be to switch to Visi: that development flow seems similar to what I have been used to with the 4Duino, albeit using the 4DGL language rather than Arduino C. Obviously, then, I'd also have to write the code that interfaces the display to the Arduino I have and I couldn't rely on the geniearduino.h library without reproducing the Diablo16 side of the serial comms. Frankly, rather than do that it would be easier to pay for the PRO version!!
Apart from doing everything from scratch in Designer, have I missed any other approaches with VisiGenie or Visi?
