Hide Virtual Keyboard

This action can be used to hide the virtual keyboard on the device running the game. Calling this action will generate a System Asynchronous Event, in which the async_load DS map will be populated with the following key/value pairs:

• "event_type" - this will be "virtual keyboard status" when triggered by virtual keyboard actions.
• "screen_height" - the height of the virtual keyboard (in pixels). This will be 0 if the keyboard is invisible.
• "keyboard_status" - the current status of the keyboard, returned as one of the following strings:
  • "hiding"
  • "hidden"
  • "showing"
  • "visible"

Action Syntax:

Example:

The above action block code checks for a mouse down action, and if one is detected, then a check is performed to see if the OS virtual keyboard is showing. If it isn't then it is set to show - using a numeric keypad type - and if is already showing then it is hidden.
