I changed the Trim down to be a 'Hold' button with 2 images. It just sends the keystroke once.

I don't know what else to tell you. I think I do remember FS9 needing the Numlock on or off maybe depending on what your doing. But it seems to me that TB is working as intended and sending the keys. If it sends the keystrokes to the Calculator and also to Notepad, then TB is doing it's job I think...
Bill,

I installed touch screen on my Flight Sim PC (now in local mode) and I'm still having issues with Numpad7 and Numpad1.

In fact, I even downloaded your zip file and copied your version of the .TBC file where you used the following command into my system:

macro_select = predef:NUMPAD7

Note - I tried this with numlock on and off and it still failed. The manual keyboard command Numpad7 will cause the trim wheel to move. The macro_select keystroke you used caused the view to flash quickly and then it returned to the view originally selected.

I even opened up the Microsoft Calculator and it accepted the Numpad 7 inputs. The flaps and other functions work, it is just the commands with Numpad that are causing fits.

Sorry my issue is such a pain......
Bill
