TouchScreen for SAP ERP
Using GuiXT/Input Assistant and the Viewer you can easily enable touch screen operation
To use SAP ERP appropriately via a touch screen you need
- to provide a corresponding keyboard for entry in an entry field or a long text
- to provide a list for navigation possibilities
- to provide large push buttons to call up functions (at least 70x70 pix)
- instead of selection guide F4, to provide access to values as images (70x70)
1. Keyboards

The selection buttons have been designed with the Image command and the additional TextString= :
