Re: Mobile Keyboard

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I got busy and couldn't get back to this for a while. But the proposed fix isn't really any 
different from the one I've used and others have suggested. You still have to send a message on 
preOpen-anything and then do something that deselects the field, whether it's unsetting/setting 
traversalOn, lockText, or focus.


If you have editable fields on several or all cards, then doing the workaround isn't enough on 
preopenstack. You have to include the kludge on every card.


I wish we had a field property that avoided the issue altogether.

I'll have to try that. The last time I looked, the keyboard popped up briefly after openCard 
finished, and then went back down.

Re: Mobile Keyboard

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

Try setting the traversalOn to false rather than using lockText, I seem to 
remember that worked for the last iOS app that I made (quite a while ago now), 
I’m sure it has been discussed here, probably several years ago, so  I’m amazes 
that I remembered it. :-)

I tested the script below in the simulator on a card with 5 fields and it 
worked as expected.

CODE:

local sFields

on preOpenCard
   put the number of fields on this card into sFields
  repeat with x = 1 to sFields
set the traversalOn of fld x to false   
   end repeat
end preOpenCard

on openCard
## openCard stuff here
send "unlockAllFields" to this card in 2 ticks ## Last line of the 
openCard handler
end openCard

on unlockAllFields
   repeat with x = 1 to sFields
  set the traversalOn of fld x to true
   end repeat
end unlockAllFields

END CODE

Best of luck.

Paul

RE: Mobile Keyboard

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

If found that you need to enclose the (set the lockText of fld "thisDarnField" 
to false) with lock/unlock messages or the keyboard will pop up when the 
doUnlockTheField handler is run. Probably because I do a lot in the passed open 
card message path I also needed to send the message in 100 ticks.

Works great now.
Thanks!

RE: Mobile Keyboard

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Dan,

Thanks! I was fiddling with the lockText property earlier and it did not seem 
to work. The field does predictive typing. I discovered that keyDown and 
rawKeyDown messages are still sent even if lockText is true. I had to put this 
code at the top of both rawKeyDown and keyDown handlers to prevent data entry 
into the field..

if the lockText of me then 
 pass keyDown/rawKeyDown
end if


Still learning...
