Jack's Hack for the month of July, 2002:
Advanced Input Methods There are two code fragments this month. Both from the technical library to demonstrate some advance input methods. The first example "Cursor" advance the cursor of the application to the next position automatically after a input. This is done by changing the value of the variable specified in the "iname" attribute of the "select" list. The second code fragments works like a switch. When the user click on a select list item, it will toggle to the next value automatically and stay on the same screen. This method is suitable for limited enumerated fields otherwise the user will lost track of the available items. The original code was in HDML. I have converted both of these application into generic WML version and a WML with Openwave extensions version. Tips: Converting from HDML to WML. Ok, I forgot to mention last month that the WML converted by the 4.1 simulator sometimes uses the WML with Openwave extensions. The reason being multiple context is not supported by generic WML but it is available in HDML. You will need to do some modification yourself to convert it to generic WML if required.
