Keypads and Keyboards

Have you ever opened the system page template in TPDesign and wondered about the various keyboards and keypads used? These templates are available for you to copy/paste into your tpd file and modify the look and layout to match your own style. The API documentation is a bit confusing (and missing in some cases), so here is my cheat-sheet.
Keyboards
The keyboard templates support basic and private. Private is used for passwords. The API to implement these keyboards are:
"'@AKB-<initial text>;<prompt text>'" "'AKEYB-<initial text>'" "'@PKB-<initial text>;<prompt text>'" "'PKEYB-<initial text>'"
Keypads
The keypad templates support basic, private, extended, and telephone. TThe API to implement these keypads are:
"'@AKP-<initial text>;<prompt text>'" "'AKEYP-<initial text>'" "'@PKP-<initial text>;<prompt text>'" "'PKEYP-<initial text>'" "'@EKP-<initial text>;<prompt text>'" "'@TKP-<initial text>;<prompt text>'"
Virtual keyboards
The virtual keyboard is for use with G4 computer control to simulate the keyboard on the PC.
"'@VKB'"
The keyboards and keypads support a single editable item. I’m going to experiment with multiple editable items (channel number/name) and post next week on my findings.
