'''on.charIn''' is an event that catches the user's keypresses on the keyboard.
    +
Here's an example on how to use it :
    +
<syntaxhighlight>
 +
input = ""  -- the string that will contain the user's typed message
 +
 +
function on.paint(gc)
 +
    gc:drawString(input,5,5,"top")  -- drawing the current string on screen
 +
end
 +
 +
function on.charIn(char)
 +
    input = input..char  -- appending
 +
    platform.window:invalidate()  -- refreshing the screen
 +
end
 +
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
