Thak you so much Frank ! :)
I think I will settle for only numeric part of keyboard
+ items / restaurant table lookups with large picture buttons for
sales operation mode.
For entering item / other text desriptions I hv sort of regular backoffice app. serving (by sending) all POS stations with item lists, price changes etc, so full keyboard functionality might not be necessary.
Also this is not fully blown market app ( I am happily out of market :) ), but more like friendly project. So some complexities can be left out.
Btw yr app. looks very nice :)
Do u hv it multilanguage, or at least in english?
I can find you emails/contacts of major pos / touchscreen equipment suppliers here so u can maybe make some business here :)

I was to ask u ... did u do keyboard thing for touch screens yourself or there is some good ready code (preferably free) that can be used ?... <snip>...., but I was hoping to adopt it for touch screen operation mode. From yr message it seem to me that there will be much more things to do then just adding item lookups with large picture buttons and keayboard as facility...>
>Yes we did this all by ourselves. I have made You three screen shots of the application the date in the lower right corner shows last rev. 2002 (at least this form). So You see this not from Yesterday. I could help You with that but we started with it using VFP6 than luckily VFP7 came. However VFP8 with BindEvent other buttons, TRY-Catch etc. would have been it.
