appuifw2.text, body.bind() and text input problem

[forumz]

I am using body.bind to bind a hotkey for changing to text input interface(using appuifw2.Text), but here's the problem: when I press the hotkey(e.g. "*" key), changing to text input and also the "*" is typed on the screen. Is possible to prevent the hotkey keytext show on screen?? I tried to set the Text.read_only to true, and using ao_sleep for 1 sec, and then setting read_only to false, but the keytext showup after 1 sec.

code is here:

appuifw.app.body.bind(EKeyStar, self.text_test)

def text_test(self):
    try:
        appuifw.app.body = appuifw.Text()
    except:
        appuifw.note(u'%s\n%s' % (u'Error' unicode(e)))

Manual 1.4.5 page 28:

bind(event code, callback)

Binds the callable Python object callback to event event code. The key codes are defined in the key codes library module. The call bind(event code, None) clears an existing binding. In the current implementation the event is always passed also to the underlying native UI control.

However you could experiment with keycapture module. Please check chapter 5.5.

The main problem with using keycapture is that it requires SwEvent capability, thus requiring signing: either run as script under open signed Python AppShell or as signed SIS. That's trouble ...

If anyone has any other solutions, I would most interested in hearing about them!

Thanks for your hints, keycpature is the only way to solve this problem.
Hope there's a solution for binding in PY S60 v2.0
