Hiding virtual control pad in midlet?

[markww]

Hi,

I've created a midlet, it doesn't implement any of the j2me touch APIs though. So when I start the S60 emulator, a virtual control pad is displayed with my midlet. I was thinking the device sees the touch API is not implemented and shows the control pad by default.

If I implement the j2me touch APIs (pointerDragged() etc), will this virtual control pad go away? If not, what do we need to do to hide it?

Thanks

Hi,

From what I understand from your description this article may help:

You're displaying a Canvas?

No, it's nothing to do with implementing pointerXxxxx() events. The on-screen keypad displays automatically.

You can control this, by adding:

Nokia-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keyboard: no

to the JAD or the JAR's manifest. Other options are "gameactions" and "navigationkeys". I can't remember which is the default.

Cheers,
Graham.
