Is it possible to input flick style characters with Touch GFX Designer?

[TN_it]

Hi, I have a question about the entering character in the TouchGFX Designer.
I want to realize character input by flick operation like a smartphone, but I can't find it on the demo screen.
When entering characters, is there only a way to place one button per character?

Hello @TN_it ,

There's no example showcasing flick keyboard but that's a good idea, thank you :)
I don't think it's too complicated to create and it doesn't necessarily require extra button. This should be doable by getting the gesture event coordinates.

In the example above, pressing the "7" button will allow you to enter "R" if you swipe up, "S" if you swipe right, "Q" if you swipe left, "7" if you swipe down, and finally "P" if you release your press (behaves as a click).

So you'll only need to know which direction you'll swipe and based on that you can know which characters it corresponds to. 

Hope it helps :)

Thank you for answering, @Osman SOYKURT .

It can be realized depending on the software implementation.

It's a little complicated, but I'll do my best to design it.
