Hey guys. Building a touchscreen HMI that has a password field input. I was using the keyPressed function scripting with the VK\_ENTER keyCode to swap windows once the right value is entered. It works great with a physical keyboard, but not with the virtual keyboard that pops up. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

The keypress listener requires a hardware device. You would need something like this in the propertyChange handler:

`if event.propertyName == "text" and event.source.text=="CorrectPassword":
  DoSomeStuff()
else:
  DoSomeOtherStuff()`
