 == 2025-06-05 Popup selection lists and keypads ==
 
-The arm825beta lib825ev has updated CForm features to improve input forms. Flag FORM_FLAG_POPUP can be OR'd with FORM_UINT8_SEL and FORM_UINTx_YESNO fields to provide popup selection lists. This allows selecting items without presenting the main on screen keypad and going out of zoom mode. FORM_FLAG_POPUP can also be used for inputs FORM_UINTx, FORM_FLOAT, and FORM_DOUBLE to present a popup number pad keypad for numeric entry. FORM_FLAG_POPUP can be used for FORM_STR inputs to present a popup alphanumeric keypad for string input.

+Inputs with FORM_FLAG_POPUP will appear with the shadow button outline. The second CFormRect coordinate parameter can be CFormRect::zero for the popup keypad to automatically popup below the input field. The second CFormRect coordinate may be specified to designate where the keypad appears. The default is for the prompt label to show above data item. The flag FORM_FLAG_POPUP_LEFT_PROMPT may be added to specify the prompt text to be left of the data item.
