# Interface VirtualInputDevice

All Superinterfaces:
  `AutoCloseable`

public interface VirtualInputDevice extends AutoCloseable

Represents a virtual input device that may need to be closed/disposed, providing a way Widgets that require exclusive access to the user's input (but perhaps not all of the user interactions with the app) need to provide a way for the form to dispose of it when a new input device needs to be displayed.

Examples of virtual input devices include the virtual keyboard and the Picker.

VirtualInputDevices should implement the `#close()` method to safely dispose of itself. Before displaying the input device to the screen, it should call `Form#setCurrentInputDevice(com.codename1.ui.VirtualInputDevice)` which will execute the `#close()` method of the the current input device.
