On Screen Keyboard

[betancourtb82]

I just implemented some buttons using the following code. I'm planning on the user to be able to click on a button and that letter should come out as text on the screen. I have done this previously with the keyboard using:

def mykeyboard(key):
 global SendText, infoindex, quad
 #the input is a normal character
 if len(key) == 1:
  SendText += key
 elif key == viz.KEY_BACKSPACE:
  #If the key is the backspace key then remove the last character
  SendText = SendText[:len(SendText)-1]
 #Update the input text
 text.message(SendText)

Is there a way to do something like the following for any letter that is clicked. I was thinking of doing an if statement for each letter that will appear:

 if viz.add(viz.BUTTON_LABEL,'a') and state == viz.DOWN:
  SendText += 'a'
