Use a touch screen and buttons

[tinher]

I am trying to write a DB that does 90% of data entry by touch screen and buttons.

It will be a simple Point of Sale for a small cafe.

keep track of money taken
give change back, if it is a cash transaction.

If it is a charge transaction save to be added up and paid later.

Some customers run a tab and others pay cash.

I have started it and I am stuck on the buttons for the items purchased.

Do we have a sample I could use or should I upload what I have programmed so far?

Thank You for the advice.

Hi. I don't have any samples to show you. What specifically was the problem with what you created?

I am using 2010.

I uploaded what I have written so far and it works.

Just open the form frmTicket. If you click on my 2 buttons it adds tickets for those customers. So that part is good.

I want to add buttons to enter money and buttons for the food items.

I've had a quick look at your app but am unclear in what ways you have modified the design for a touch screen.

I have created several touch screen applications though nothing for your situation.
In each case, the app has been designed for kiosk mode.
The basic idea is to create an interface where nothing is entered using a keyboard.
One example is the Patient Login which may be worth looking at.

I only mention a touch screen to explain how the buttons will be used.

I do not want the users to have to use a keyboard.

When I add the touch screen monitor the users will no have to use a keyboard.

I want a DB that enters data from buttons.

I do not need a kiosk.

Kiosk mode means no keyboard is connected.

The patient login is cool.

I clicked the Thanks button.

I'm not aware of any stated problem thus far, other than "I am stuck on the buttons." What does that mean? What help are you looking for? Access buttons don't seem to react any differently whether I use the mouse, keyboard or touch my screen, so what's the issue?

I deleted the code that did not work. I will add it back and upload again

I added the buttons I am trying to get to work.

The $5.00 button I want to change the PaperMoney field to 5

The Fries button I want to New record and change the FoodID field to 1
The Pie button should New record and change the FoodID field to 2
The Pop button should New record and change the FoodID field to 3

I uploaded a new DB

Thanks.
