Keypress simulation

[apffal]

Hello !
I want to use keypress simulation, avoiding user have to press left key for saving a Python S60 form - in other words, I want that, when pressing right key ("Back"), form is automatically saved.
Is it enough add the appropriate statement - "keypress.simulate_key(EKeyLeftSoftkey, EScancodeLeftSoftkey)" ?
And where must I put it in my code ?
Thanks for answers.

That's the code I' using

import appuifw
from key_codes import *
import keypress

appuifw.app.title = u'Title'
appuifw.app.body=appuifw.Canvas()

while True:
data = [(u'Val','number', 0), (u'Year','number', 0), (u'Tax','text', u'')]
f = appuifw.Form(data, appuifw.FFormEditModeOnly)
f.execute()

val = f[0][2]
year = f[1][2]
tax = float(f[2][2])
month = year * 12

value = val *((tax/1200)*(pow((1+(tax/1200)),month))/(pow((1+(tax/1200)),month)-1))
appuifw.popup_menu([u"value", unicode(value)])

new_calc = appuifw.query(u"New calc", "query")
if not new_calc:
break

Hi,

Please use code tags (the button with the # symbol on in in the post editor) when posting code because it keeps it indented and easier to read.

Basically all you have to do is simulate the same keys you would press in order to achieve what you want. Somewhere after f.execute() is where you should do it (though it's a bit hard to be sure since the code is not indented).

Thank you for the answer.
But putting "keypress.simulate_key" code after "f.execute()" doesn't work - the phone still asks to save the form (as I have not simulate left key) and I get no results at all.
What's wrong ?

[bogdan.galiceanu]

Just to be clear, have you or have you not simulated the left softkey?

[apffal]

Yes - but, as I said, after adding "keypress.simulate_key" code, the phone still asks to save the form (as I have not simulate the save key) and I get no results
