Open virtual keypads by JavaScript

[HmiGuide]

I want to open the virtual numeric keypad, when pressing a button. I do not want to use a input field because of design issues. Can anybody provide an example for both keypads: - numeric keypad (for interger and float) - textual keypad (for text) I'm not able to find this information in the documentation.

The numpad and overlay keyboards are opened automatically in WebIQ if enabled and cannot be triggered manually.

Define a UI Action with a parameter ItemName (parameters[0]) and call shmi.numpad(p).

(function() {
    var actions = shmi.pkg("visuals.session.userActions"); //get reference to userActions object
    actions["_Open-NumPad"] = function(parameters) {
    const im = shmi.visuals.session.ItemManager;
    oVal = im.readValue(params[0]);
    if (oVal===null) {
        alert(params[0] + " item not defined");
    } else {
        let p = {
            unit:      "",   // unit for display
            label:     "",   // label for display
            value:     oVal, // initial value for edit
            callback:  function(value) {
                im.writeValue(p.item, value);
            },
            min:       0,    // min. value
            max:       100,  // max. value
            type:      2,    // 2=INT 3=REAL
            precision: 2,    // number of digits
            item:      parameters[0]  // item name e.g. "SInt"
        };
        shmi.numpad(p);
    }   
    };
}());
